I'm a very curious (and forgetful person, and like a jay I tend to find small tidbits of information all around the digital space, bookmark them in some way...and then forget about them entirely
I end up having different sources of truth scattered all over the Internet:
- blog posts, such as https://www.tidyverse.org/articles/2017/12/workflow-vs-script/
https://blogs.rstudio.com/tensorflow/
https://www.jessemaegan.com/post/so-you-ve-been-asked-to-make-a-reprex/ - entire books in
bookdown
, such as http://r4ds.had.co.nz/ I own the hardcopy of this, actually, so I don't strictly need to refer to the digital one, which however is probably more updated: however I use it as a general example - GitHub projects and gists
- Stack Exchange answers I particularly like
- posts on this community, or on Slack, which I like
- etc.
Initially my approach was to star stuff in the various communities (e.g. GitHub and SE) from my profiles (btw this works better in GitHub than in SE because I get better notifications if my favorite answers are updated). But now that I belong to even more communities, this starts to become unwieldly (I can save posts here too, but it's unlikely I'll remember about them later on, unless they later get modified and Discourse notifies me about it). Also, this leaves blog posts out...for those I simply use Chrome bookmarks, which is suboptimal. Do you have any better ways of sifting through the Digital Chaos?
