Indeed. I read that the Howm author, Prof. Kazuyuki Hiraoka, disliked the tediousness of manually organizing notes (folders, tags, etc.), and wanted to make a somewhat “self-organizing” system where we can work lazily yet remain organized. He called it lazy, I call it efficient :)
> As Howm has become such an important part of my everyday digital life, I will certainly write my own blog article about it one day.
I would love to read more about other people’s Howm workflows. Currently, there’s still very few sources about this in English.
