Organizing data

Organize at your own pace.

Find everything for your workflow at a glance, on a special page called “Chaos”.

Tags build the core of the data structure. Modesty aside — they nail it.

Apart from being a simple tool for labeling notes (and other tags, too!), they can have…

… metadata
  • Aliases
  • Locations
  • Milestone dates
  • External references
… hierarchy
  • Imagine having a tag called Notre-Dame de Paris. The tag page will obviously show everything explicitly labeled.
  • Add a polygon-shaped location outlining the contour of the great building to your tag. Then create another one called Spire of Notre-Dame de Paris and mark it on the map — this surely will be inside that. Thus, everything labeled with this new tag will be shown, too.
  • Create a third tag called Gargoyles of Notre-Dame de Paris, but assign its location as simply Notre-Dame de Paris rather than adding new points on the map. Expect the same effect.
  • And finally — Reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris. Label it with Notre-Dame de Paris. See what happened?
… categories
  • Categories are primitive on purpose — just title, no more than one category per tag.
  • Good examples would be People or Places or anything you wish.
  • Tags are grouped by categories in alphabetical lists.
  • Optionally configure your favourite categories to list their tags on the main page of your project.

Both notes and tags can be added to boards — essentially tags with implied tasks.

  • And just like with tags, you can add same item to multiple boards.
  • Hide them or show them, grant permissions to configure them — or even edit every item added.
  • Boards can be configured to hide added items from people without access to them. Looking for a drafts or trash folder? Look no further!

The tools are abstract.

The rules are yours.
