Wiki workflow
The entire wiki is one folder that you can find on GitHub. It has many folders with subfolders or entries inside.
The order with which GitBook renders the files in the sidebar to your left is defined in SUMMARY.md.
This workflow also searches through all folders in this wiki and lets me create new folders inside those folders or create new entries (md files) inside the folders.
Editing on iOS
I can't however push changes live from iOS so I do that from mac.
Making notes on books
When reading books, I annotate over the PDF with PDF Expert. Once I read the book I transfer the annotations to the markdown file and connect the file to wiki. Then write a review on Goodreads and add the review and notes I made to books.
Using this wiki
Now that I can edit this wiki and extend it at the speed of a thought. I can open any of the wiki entries in seconds by searching for the file I need with Alfred My Mind.
And anyone who owns Alfred can download the workflow and search through the wiki too. Outside of that, GitBook also provides a pretty neat search in the wiki itself. In there you can make textual queries too and files where the queried text is will be shown.
