Ask HN: What are some examples of websites where the author learns in the open?

Posted by pnorvx on Saturday March 05, 2022 @09:40AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I like how the author of https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/ has created a huge online repo of bookmarks, links, knowledge, notes. The author claims to learn in public.

Are there more such examples of websites where the authors learn in the open and maintain such a website?

Is there a popular term to classify such websites? The website I've linked above claims to be a Wiki but I think it is very different from a Wiki. Wikis generally have an edit user interface to easily edit and maintain the wiki but the example above seems to be powered by Gitbook. I wonder if there is a separate term that classifies such websites?

Anyway getting back to the main point of this question... If you have examples of such websites where authors learn in the open, please share it here.

They are called multiple ways. I like to call mine a Personal Handbook[1] but I've also seen this being referred as Digital Garden or Personal Knowledge Base.

I keep a list of open knowledge bases here: https://publish.obsidian.md/davidgasquez/Personal+Handbooks

There's a whole community of people building in public on Indiehackers.com

You can also check out the #buildinpublic and #buildsell30 hashtags on twitter. Not websites, but big collections of knowledge and resources

Pieter Levels (levels.io) is a popular example.
