      <p>After writing about <a href="/daily/2024/11/10/write-plain-text-files">using text files for my personal wiki</a>, I've found others who do the same.</p>

      <ul>
      <li>Derek Sivers wrote a blog post about <a href="https://sive.rs/plaintext">why he uses text files</a>.</li>
      <li>Ricky Kresslein read Derek's blog post and migrated his notes, <a href="https://kressle.in/txt">wrote a blog post</a> and recorded a video.</li>
      <li>Sebastian Daschner recorded a video about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-afP8cpBpXU">a simple knowledge system</a> using plain-text files and asciidoc.</li>
      <li>Nick Janetakis, a former guest <a href="/podcast/nick-janetakis-docker">on the Beyond Blocks podcast</a>, wrote a small Bash script to maintain his plain text files, which I've <a href="https://github.com/opdavies/dotfiles/commit/73d801d7acf53d82f341f738c655fb6a2fcdcd70">added to my NixOS configuration</a>.</li>
      </ul>

      <p>Do you know anyone else who uses plain text files for their notes?</p>

      <p>If you don't, I'd recommend it.</p>
