The idea was to have information in the shape you were looking for, which often means augmenting data already out there

• links to good explanations, if they exist already

• details, if most resources are only summaries
• summaries, if most people only mention details

• contextualization, if most resources only get dry definitions
• dry definitions, where you only get fluffy roundabout stories

• a "why do this in the first place" and "maybe consider this instead"

• a   "technically ..."   alongside a  "and usually this means..."

• intuitive bootstraps, like how a friend might explain it

It also has very much become a messy general personal notebook for things like:

• distillation when searches don't details in one place, like common plugs and connectors, or lightbulbs, or all those symbols on electronics, or staple sizes

• new interests

• research and summaries for work, like ZFS, EM file formats

• research and summaries for hobby projects, like overviews of analog audio voltage levels, or video formats, electronics notes in general, dyes

• attempted research like whether rust is bad for you, how lava lamps work, the difference between doughs, batters, leaveners, the difference between distilled and demineralized water, how people see colors and why the sky is blue and whether that may be different on other planets, what happens when you get thrown out an airlock, etc.

• refreshing knowledge I've forgotten since high school, like ions and ionizing radiation

• attempted summaries for larger topics, like code licenses

• write-ups of specific hobby projects, e.g. notes made making an DIY electonic drumkit, DIY internet radio

Distillation of any information may take some time; I have only so much time, and too many interests ^-^
