Personal Reflection

After struggling with Notion’s complexity for my second brain, I built this WordPress solution that gives me complete control over my knowledge organization. The four specialized custom post types and AJAX filtering make finding and organizing information much more efficient than my previous setup. Now I can quickly access web development notes, interactive components with live demos, WordPress customizations, and React.js features all in one organized system.
