- GitHub have world class backups - commit something there and it gets replicated to data centers on three continents (I believe) - and a free public repo there won't vanish if you forget to update an expired credit card
- Related: GitHub is free. I care about this not because of not wanting to pay now, but because I don't want my content to be at risk if I forget to pay in the future (or can't pay for whatever reason)
- GitHub has several great web UIs for editing content, in addition to being able to edit in any other tool that supports the git protocol
- GitHub Actions makes it possible to add all sorts of automations on top of your notes, again for free. I use that to deploy my custom https://til.simonwillison.net site (mainly to give myself search)
- GitHub's own search is pretty good though!
- You can also use GitHub Pages if you just want a custom static site version of your notes.
- If someone spots a typo in your notes they can submit a PR to fix it!
