Is there any site that works like Github but isn't for coders? E.g. Notes/Resources?

Would be interested in seeing if something like that did exist. And hopefully not prompt a question on the main site unless it was the expected "something needs a wrench to the settings, halp!"

Can't think of it at all. Only that it would be a list question or otherwise closed as shopping for brains

Actually, GitHub can work for notes and resources. You just have to know how to use Git in order to push from your local. Or failing that, just edit from the GitHub interface itself. It's just text.

Case in point, Wired's Lord of the Files article. And have seen some repos on GitHub that are collections of recipes and knitting patterns.

It seems like "good level of research" many take is just opening up Web Apps and choosing some relevant-ish tags

If someone did post such a question as a non-programmer version of GitHub, it should be closed as off topic because the only argument would be that they don't like the UI which suggests they may need/want to have some programming chops

Time to launch a GitHub fork with "prettier" or more scholarly looking UI elements. Robes and mortarboards all over that joint
