swyx's second brain is Shawn Wang's public second-brain repository and digital garden, maintained as a collection of raw Obsidian notes. It stores personal research, resource lists, project ideas, writing material, reviews, career notes, and recurring observations. The folders follow the PARA approach, separating projects, ongoing areas, reference resources, and archived material. It also consolidates several older public lists covering developer tools, podcasts, automation, email utilities, and other technical interests. The same material can be explored through GitHub or a published Obsidian site. Its content is intentionally less polished than the author's articles, newsletters, videos, and other formal work. Readers may suggest additions and corrections, but the notes can be reorganized or renamed without notice.
