We encounter many inputs every day. There are different links from our favorite websites. There are different development snippets. There are working instructions. Tons of inputs every day. These data inputs needs to be organized so that they become useful for me to make decision.
By tagging and organizing data into groups, data becomes information. After I digest the information into writings, information becomes knowledge.
So the digital organization that I built is dedicated to this purpose. I designed different entry points to reach my entries. There are tags, dates, saved searches, pinned entries. I can also filter entries with URL and attachment content type.
I enjoy the ability to read random pages in my analog notebooks. That’s why I list random notes every time I’m on home page.

Cypress.io 4
https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/310#issuecomment-583398045
The end-to-end test software Cypress.io just got Firefox and Edge support in addition to the Chrome. Good for those who don’t use Chrome.
MDN.io
https://mdn.io/
Append any web terms to mdn.io to get directly to MDN documentation. For example, https://mdn.io/text-overflow
It uses the single bang (!) search query to redirect to the first search result. So the above mdn.io query becomes:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=! site:developer.mozilla.org text-overflow
which searches MDN site with the given query and directly jumps to the first result.
