I created an index in Algolia, which started as a DEV challenge project but it's free so I kept it there. I don't capture the build information itself though, I capture the decisions I'm making about the build. Since AI does most of the work anyway, I don't much care about the implementation details that would show up in a PR. What I do care about is why I picked X over Y or why I didn't finish that one feature 6 weeks ago. Algolia makes it searchable and there's a chat implementation that I have wired with OpenAI. github.com/anchildress1/system-notes. The website is at anchildress1.dev.

I wrote a small MCP for the decision capture process, which works in ChatGPT or Claude, just to make life easier. github.com/anchildress1/supascribe...

It's really serious overkill for what it is, but it works and makes my life easier. I'll have a chat with Claude (or multiple ones) and then tell it to capture all key decisions that were made about the project. Those go to Supabase -> Algolia and then everything is searchable on the website with a few monthly clicks.
