I've been doing something similar, albeit less organized and, more automated. I have a page in my blog [1] where I showcase all my TILs, which are mostly interesting links I encounter. This page is updated through a Discord Bot [2]. The bot updates a JSON and using the JSON, I use a Jinja template to reconstruct the TIL.md file. I want to figure out better ways to display this information, both for my own purposes and for sharing with others. And I also want to automatically archive links I record this way. I am considering using Firefox Bookmarks to manage them so that I don't need the bot, just a cron job that updates the page using bookmarks. And I can reorganize at will using the bookmarks. I'm mostly concerned about the privacy problem, and I've never been such a great user of bookmarks in any browser.

Oddly I wonder where I came across the idea of a TIL page. @pradyunsg had a status up, but I wonder if he was linking to OP's database. Either way, this is something I enjoy so much that I also maintain my interview and tech learning notes publicly. [3]

Public learning should be more of a thing than it is, currently.
