Very nice project. I'm delighted to see new ideas for organizing files and personal data.
I feel that most people gave up on organizing data and just went with concept of searching. This is a shame because searching wastes everyone's time to filter false positives, while small effort of tagging new content goes long way to enable discoverability. Web sites that allow you to filter content based on desired and undesired tags give you optimal way to recover information.
A very interesting feature in Tagsistant is tag relations. It enables tree hierarchies for tags ("anything starwars-related is also scifi-related"). Kind of ironic how they wanted to get away from tree structure of files, and then they implemented tree structure for tags. Perhaps a tagging system for organizing your tags would be better? :)
This meta-structure of data is fascinating. Is there a good resource that systematizes the area, with best practices and implementation tips?
- feanaro 7y agoTree hierarchies for tags is starting to sound a lot like categories. It's probably essential not to overdo it because then you start to lose the power of tags and gain the detriments of categories. That said, I do think that introducing some limited relations between tags can be beneficial.
