    On the GitHub thing, you can spool up a public or private repo for free and just start going at it. Using markdown files and directory structures to organize everything. I like the GitHub option because it allows you to include documents and images directly. There also the "GitWiki" feature they added which is basically a mini markdown wiki you can use. All of it can be pulled do multiple devices and kept up to date easily and if it gets taken down you always have your local backup to rebuild it from (and vice versa, if your local copy breaks you have the online version)

        If you're just using MarkDown and uploading files to it, it's super simple. They include a graphic markdown editor on the site (it's nice because Reddit and Hexbear use MD formatting).

        Until that functionality is built into hexbear, you're just gonna have to copy and paste things yourself, or screenshot them and upload.

        I'm not quite sure what the upload limit on repos is, so try and avoid a ton of high res images and scanned books, maybe use another archive service for those (archive.org etc) and link them in your repo

          This sounds so proficient, the insight is appreciated! Currently I've been using the note to self in signal and it's a jumbled mess. I haven't put much thought about properly organizing this stuff yet. Y'alls posts def sparked ideas.

          I just found gitjournal (I was looking mobile apps to push mdx to git). Do you recommend this, or would you recommend something else?

          EDIT: Just gonna give it a try it looks open source
