It's all private, but I have a mix of journals, project logs, work experience, random thoughts, etc. I like having an interface that lets me quickly review, filter, and collate

Markdown IMO is still the best for that - even Notion acknowledges that given its interface works very well with (and is partly based on) Markdown.

Obsidian also has plugins that are stored per-vault so you can enhance your setup with things like kanban boards, data tables/spreadsheets, etc.

Has anyone tried anytype.io/ ?
I had been using a private GitLab repo to keep notes across devices and a simple static site generator for organizing things through tags. I switched to Notion when I couldn't figure out why my markdown editor wouldn't access the folder where the git client was cloning to. I stuck with it for the embed feature.

Are you sharing docs externally? In other words, do you need the SSG at all?

For personal use local markdown files + preview is a much easier workflow. VS Code with the Markdown All In One extension is more than enough (if you don't already want to use Obsidian).

I was going to but it's pretty complicated to setup on a server, you need at least a MongoDB database and a Redis.

For me it's about standing out in the sea of resumes recruiters and hiring managers are looking through. If you can get in contact with a human and get a referral you have significantly better odds than applying through the company's careers page.
A great place to start is to look at the company's LinkedIn page and see if you have any connections - previous colleagues, alumni, friends of friends.

Weird. We had some issues with the export and getting it into itch.io. The controls should be WASD and your mouse

Got it, then yea, they’re not working on that site

It was great getting into game development again! I haven't made a game since 2009. In Flash...
Check it out on Itch: azanebrain.itch.io/frost-in-s…

Big props to my team for teaching me Unity!

Cool! I'll be honest, I played for a bit but couldn't figure out how to move around. Tried WASD and the arrow keys, no dice. Maybe it only works when you download it?
