  • Don’t have an agenda and already mentioned it here but consider looking at “Tagspaces” newer versions got a little enshittified, I forget right now what version I parked at, but I think you can still find older builds that have almost all the best features for free. Your files / tagging infrastructure will not fall apart if you switch OS or ditch the app which I think is really important for longevity. It would be really easy to code something new that’s compatible with the tagging structure if you ever wanted too.


  • This is why you need a tagging system that limits your choices and can easily sort across folders by tags. I prefer Tagspaces because it just adds the tags directly to the end of filenames so I never lose the tags and if I am on a system where it’s not installed I do always have the option of just manually adding a tag. I keep things in folders too and 8/10 times the folder structure does the trick, but boy it’s nice to have those tags when I’m either looking for something or need to see a lot of similar things all at once. Never more applicable than tax time. Can pull up receipts w2s, loan stuff, medical stuff all by just pulling the (tax) tag.













  • I liked the idea and when I had the gen 1 pebble it felt pretty neat. It lacked refinement (in both appearance / build quality and functionality though). I think we are putting it on a bit of a pedestal here though. I’d love to see a pairing back of something like the galaxy watch to a simpler, cleaner version with better battery life. I think smart watches are trying too hard to do too much right now and that’s something pebble understood from day 1.
