working on contextflo https://contextflo.com - building for companies with 1 person data teams who just want their data to be accessible via claude/chatgpt/cursor to everyone, no need to setup a complex BI product when you just want to run adhoc queries on your data. supports postgres, snowflake, clickhouse, bigquery, amplitude.

some interesting use cases are coming up where people want to query across different data sources (postgres + GA4) via chat. Feel free to reach out if you want to try it out.

I have gone through several courses with passive listening and learned so much. Would highly recommend.

i use slack for this; different channels for different programs; and I can also mute certain channels if there are too many notifications

I have recently started using Fsnotes [1]. Its based on nvAlt [2]. If we are focusing on networked notes, fsnotes supports it out of the box and best part, it is offline; stores files as markdown on my local machine, which I really want. Not sure if Roam or Athens are offline apps, didn't dig too much into them.

Thanks for pointing out SEO use case; I hadn't thought of it.

To reiterate my use case:

- no maintenance: the site is served from github, so dont have to maintain/pay for a server

- deduplication of work: dont have to write/sync a blog post and a project README for a given project.

Regarding SEO, since all content in on github, a search engine might index github content and make it discoverable that way.

There are two use-cases: project pages (from github repo README) and blog-posts (coming from .md files in blog-posts repo). You can choose to not have blog-posts and it will still generate a blog-like site from all your github project READMEs.

Thats correct; thanks for summarizing. I (the author) was mainly aiming for the one-time setup.
