I usually create a git repository on my private server (I use Gitea). Depending on the project, I may either write down the idea/concept as a README or start coding a few lines immediately.

I'm a hobbyist or small time developer. I don't want to reduce the value of using techniques such as UML diagrams, or flow charts, or whatever, but they just don't help me visualize the usage and relationships the same way that source code does, in whatever language that I'm using.
Is Slate kind of like godoc? While I don't want to evangelize for Google's Go language, many of the tools encourage good practices such as documenting interfaces and exported functions and values.
But this is still good advice, thanks!
