The word can is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Tagging system (at least the ones I've seen): enter the tags as autocompleted tokens in a single text entry. Possibly the system can autosuggest a number of tokens, possibly not, depending on your use case.
Symlinks-as-Tagging-System: I want to save a file called "foo.txt" and start editing it immediately. How do I enter the tags?
- hotdag 5y agoPresumably the same way you would enter tags in a regular program that has tags, except the datastructure would be stored as a disk file system. you dont necessarily have to manually run ln -s every time, the same way you dont have to run a sql insert to update a tumblr posts tags.
