how does one make Alexa routines manageable ?

here is a list of some my routines for Alexa
the names are uninformative

i would like to give them much more descriptive names  
i would like to have user notes attached to each routine
i would like to be able to “search” for a particular routine

what can i do ?

Geodesic Dome ideas 777geodesic

First of all.... check out https://www.ziptiedomes.com/
This site is full of wonderful ideas and super useful information.

BAMBOO

Perhaps bamboo can be wrapped by fibers wound around outside of the bamboo.  This could strengthen bamboo against splitting.  Fiber could be fiberglass ..... sisal .... banana  .

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisal   <—- sisal

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber  <—— see banana

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo_textile  <—- bamboo fiber

PVC & ABS PIPE
off the shelf products made from these materials are easy to use and modify.   Both PVC and ABS are thermoplastics , so they can be softened , reshaped ........ or melted and remolded.   They are easy to drill and machine.  The scrap and shavings can be reused.

DESIGN TOOLS
http://www.domerama.com/software/geodesic-software/   <—— open source

DOME 4.80ar.02  is a program, by Rick Bono, for creating models of geodesic domes, spheres and related models.  It runs on Windows.

Geodesics Using Mathematica

see page 9.6 , 10 , 11

COMPUTERS
i will first attempt to run design software on the Raspberry Pi 4.0
Also any test tools or building controls will be based on Raspberry if possible.

https://www.wolfram.com/raspberry-pi/   <—- Mathematica is free when used on Raspberry


3RD PARTY RESEARCH RESOURCES

https://simplydifferently.org/  <===  really excellent source for alternate construction geometries.
     https://simplydifferently.org/Dome   <=== focused on dome geometries



=====================================
HTTRACK works like a champ for copying the contents of an entire site. This tool can even grab the pieces needed to make a website with active code content work offline. I am amazed at the stuff it can replicate offline.
This program will do all you require of it.
