wiki.txt
A curated list of personal knowledge bases kept as a single plain text file.
Each entry links to a public wiki.txt that someone uses to record technical knowledge they consider important enough to revisit: systems, languages, math, or other foundational topics.
These files are not blogs, tutorials, or note dumps.
They are personal knowledge bases that happen to be shared.
Why
Information is easy to access. Understanding is harder to maintain.
AI, search engines, and documentation make it trivial to look things up. What remains valuable is knowledge that can be recalled, reasoned from, and applied without starting from zero each time.
A personal knowledge base helps with this by capturing distilled understanding over time. Keeping it in a single file makes gaps, repetition, and weak explanations visible. Revision becomes natural.
This repository exists to collect examples of that practice.
What is listed here
Each link points to a single plain text file used as a personal knowledge base.
There is no required format.
There are no style rules.
The only constraint is that the knowledge base lives in one file.
