What can I do with the notes I take? in c/thedeprogram@lemmygrad.ml

Would highly, highly recommend it.

I personally use Obsidian. I know it's not open-source, but it's an open file format, and the files always stay on your machine, you have full control over them.

Don't wanna sound like a shill, but it singlehandedly boosted my note-taking by 100x.

I appreciate the advice, but the world of academia is not for me lol.

As for a Substack, it does sound interesting, but here's my worry: how do I "advertise it" to people, without seeming like an annoying spammer? The idea of just constantly saying "Hey guys check out my substack" on random leftist communities feels wrong in my mind...

For me personally, it's just become a habit.

Every time I do research of any kind, I have Obsidian open on the side, and I take notes on anything I reckon could come in useful later.

What can I do with the notes I take? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Hello,

I greatly enjoy taking notes on various news, people, and events to do with socialism.

I take great pride in these notes, and I really think that they strike a very good balance, providing a good summary, as well as all the necessary details.

For context, here's an example:

https://share.note.sx/g89t6c6h#d8HPAz1GPc6bF692Hy2Cb8jCtmTKxcyaZ00V72kQLSw

For the past two years, I've been making notes like this for countless topics, and I can't help but feel like they're basically just going to waste. Sure, they might come in useful in the future, but just letting them sit there feels like a waste.

I was wondering if anyone had some idea as to what I could possibly do with these. Should I post them here? Is there some other community that might appreciate these? Is there some obvious answer that I'm just missing?

Many thanks.
