My unscalable tools and how I want them to work together with my homelab

So one of the things that I'm really interested in is the idea of having a daily record that I keep for myself.

I've made some versions of a bookmarking site (All My Favs or 'amf' for short) and an alternative YouTube video manager, wytchr, that are tightly connected in the data ecosystem that I'm creating. I then added webhook support to so that wytchr sends videos that I mark as a favorite to amf. After that, I also made custom "post to my microblog" support so that I can update my microblog with things like the external url prefilled in my cms (yes for my static website).

(A)I've also been making a lot of raycast extensions which makes it easy to add these items to my wytchr and amf databases.

Building things that don't scale

I mentioned this a long time ago and I think I still stand by it. I LOVE building things that don't scale.

I don't care if you use AMF or wytchr (I mean you can, at your own risk) and I don't think you should make a CMS built on FastAPI that adds information to a database that gets read by render engine and deployed on the web. But I did and now I'm thinking about how I can make all this change how I use the web.

But the reality is that I'm learning about scalable solutions whilst building my unscalable projects. I can't speak on the next step in this but I with all of these databases, my next thought is aggregating this information so that I can do things like have a central datafile that I can connect to an LLM and really ask my past self questions and get recommendations. Furthermore I can do things like connect all of these to my searxng and then I'm now searching all my stuff privately.

This is, in my opinion the better digital commonplace notebooking than those goofy mindmap things (which I could also do with some simple queries in duckdb).
