My personal medical knowledge system

Since medical school years ago, I have been trying to find way for long term knowledge management and retention. I finally ended up with Obsidian on the desktop, but it's still difficult to access my knowledge anywhere online, until I made my own online wiki. Things that helped me get to this step: 1. "How to Take Smart Notes" 2. Evergreen notes by Andy: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes. This website shows the culmination of my personal knowledge with search bar.

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Since medical school years ago, I have been trying to find way for long term knowledge management and retention. I finally ended up with Obsidian on the desktop, but it's still difficult to access my knowledge anywhere online, until I made my own online wiki. Things that helped me get to this step: 1. "How to Take Smart Notes" 2. Evergreen notes by Andy: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes. This website shows the culmination of my personal knowledge with search bar. The idea is that I should be able to find what I'm looking for within seconds, otherwise the title of my notes are not specific enough or the web of knowledge is not good enough. Most of the notes still have short title style and walls of texts, but the newer notes that I added are in evergreen note style. I'm slowly converting them to permanent notes. Good example pages of permanent notes: https://wiki.krxiang.com/notes/pleural_effusion https://wiki.krxiang.com/notes/copd The website is made with Astro for better static site generation. Notes are taking in markdown format in Obsidian, and I used a script to copy them over that runs on schedule. I I tried Sveltekit first, but with several thousand markdown notes, I was not able to render the website on Netlify. CSS is done with tailwind. Search is added with Minisearch. This was a very fun project. Everything from the search function to the subtle fade animation was satisfying to add.

    Learnawesome.org – Open-source learning map for humanity2020 · ▲216

    Hello HN, Over the last 12 months, I have been building https://learnawesome.org This idea came from Danny Hillis' 2012 talk at OSCON, which itself was inspired from Neal Stepehenson's _The Diamond Age : A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer_ The dream is to build a tool that matches the right learning material to the right student at the right time. Wikipedia is great, but it doesn't do a good job of leveraging the rich variety of learning resources that exist on the Web. Same applies to GoodReads - which is focused only on books, whereas these days we actually learn from videos,…

    Curated List of Online Learning2020 · ▲43

    Hi HN, The discussion pops up regularly about which MOOCs and courses to take so I figured I'd start a curated list of recommendations. It's by no means exhaustive (and it's just the ones I know) and is quite broad. If you had any suggestions, feel free to create a PR or Issue, or even respond to this post and I will add it. I'd love to be able to capture quality somehow, but not sure of the way to go about that just yet. https://github.com/tombasche/professional-development

    Learnawesome.org – Discover the best learning resources on any topic2019 · ▲22

    Hi HN, Over past few months, some of us had been collecting links to learning resources (courses, interactive explorables, books, podcasts, apps, forums, livestreams etc) in a GitHub repository of markdown files. Since we also wanted to have features like advanced search ("Show me podcasts on machine learning which are entertaining and less than 40 minutes long"), we felt the need for an app. Give it a try: https://learnawesome.org You can think of LearnAwesome.org as a GoodReads-equivalent tool generalized to links to ALL media (not just books). Some features you might like: -…
