I've learned a lot over 10 years as a software engineer and thought it was about time I had a place to write up all this hard-earned knowledge. So I created a docs site, for myself!
I gradually realised that, as a "personal" docs site, it needn't be limited to just software notes. I could write whatever I like on this thing. Why not recipes? Sheet music? Or language study notes? The MDX format makes it easy to express anything I want, the source and output are available from any device, and it all gets indexed for search, so it's quite compelling versus basic solutions like Apple Notes.
So over the last month, I've been filling it out with articles to show the full potential of such a resource. I feel like we could all find a use for a personal docs site!
