I've been dabbling in personal knowledge bases for a long time now. I remember the when I discovered tags -- thought it was the best thing ever. The first good implementation in the wild (for me) was del.icio.us. Eventually I ran into all the problems that the linked thread describes. "Movie" or "movies"? "Book" or "books"? In any case, I still think flat tag lists are better than a directory tree structure ("Content/Movies" vs "movies, movie, entertainment, science fiction, space travel, aliens"). A recent innovation that I'm enjoying is backlinks. I believe roam research was the first major player that showed you related entries via the links that you included, even though a similar concept existed forever. Then you can generate clouds of relationships and find concepts visually [0]. 0: https://noduslabs.com/cases/visualize-connections-notes-roam-research-infranodus/ https://noduslabs.com/cases/visualize-connections-notes-roam...
