Documentation quality has been the determining factor in the evolution of my side projects. I've developed a structured documentation system that has completely transformed my workflow with AI assistants.

Can you share more about this?

I think that's often the thing that kills my side projects. I'll make reasonable progress, lose interest for a bit, and then when I come back to it all the working memory is gone and so I spend a few hours just getting up to speed again. Better ongoing documentation to allow quicker self-onboarding is what I need!

I've had reasonable success with taking diary-style notes on whatever project I'm working on within that project's page in Obsidian, and then when I need to come back to it, either reading over it or passing it through a LLM to summarise / ask me targeted questions to prod my memory.
