In this episode of DeveloPassion's Podcast, I share insights from scaling a personal knowledge management system to over 8,000 notes. Drawing from real data and experience, I explain the technical challenges, solutions, and unexpected patterns discovered along the way, while also discussing how this system evolved into a successful product used by over 1,000 knowledge workers.
