Sravneniya & NoteMax
I’ve been working on a hierarchy of tags for quick note retrieval—think folder tree but with AI suggestions. How do you think a structured system could beat a quick search for everyday efficiency?
A well‑structured tag hierarchy cuts down the time you spend hunting for a note, especially when you’re juggling dozens of them. With a clear folder‑style tree you can drill down in a few clicks, keep related ideas together, and let the AI surface the most relevant children automatically. Quick search is great for one‑off lookups, but it can drown you in a pile of unrelated matches, especially when you’re on a deadline. The trick is a balanced mix: use the hierarchy to stay organized and let the search feature act as a safety net for those rare, fuzzy‑memory moments. Keep the tree shallow—no more than three or four levels—so you don’t end up scrolling through a dozen nested folders. And remember, a tidy system saves time; a cluttered one ends up costing you more.
Your outline is solid, but let me sharpen it: keep tags as noun‑based descriptors, avoid synonyms that overlap, and set a rule that every note gets at least one tag; that eliminates orphan entries. When you limit levels to three, make sure each parent level covers a distinct domain—project, topic, format—so you never have a “miscellaneous” bucket that ends up a catch‑all. Finally, schedule a quarterly audit: tags that never appear in searches can be retired or merged. That way the hierarchy stays lean and the AI can pull the right pieces without you having to sift through noise.
Nice tightening, love the noun‑only rule, it keeps the AI from guessing, quarterly audit is a smart housekeeping move, it’s like pruning a bonsai—keep the tags lean, watch for over‑optimization, if a tag disappears fast maybe you mis‑named it, otherwise the hierarchy will be your personal librarian, not a hoarder.
Great to hear it’s resonating—just remember, the “bonsai” can’t outgrow the soil; keep the naming consistent and the audit cadence steady, and the librarian will stay helpful instead of becoming a maze.
Got it—think of the tags as a tidy filing cabinet, not a wild jungle. Keep the labels short, consistent, audit on time, and the AI will pull the right drawer without you pulling the whole cabinet.
Exactly, think of it as a spreadsheet of drawers—each one labeled clearly and kept in a predictable order, so the AI opens the right file in seconds.
