Still thinking about this…
I find myself needing system wide context
and project specific context.
To-Do will mean something different when applied to:
- Doug’s Nextcloud account
- ProjectX, which Doug is working on
I suppose I’m looking for characteristics based on tags to help me sort through items which might be related. Nothing is integrated, but I find myself having hundreds or thousands of:
-
Bookmarks with folders, tags, and descriptions.
-
Notes in plain text and markdown, sorted into sub-folders. Tags can be added from the file system, but aren’t rendered within the app. See github request on attaching notes to any app, attaching a note to a “project”.
-
Contacts allow markdown description fields, but these cannot be accessed from the Notes app.
-
Deck allows markdown description fields, but these cannot be accessed from other apps.
-
Let's Talk about Projects - still in the early days of integration as we’ve mentioned previously in this Tag discussion thread above.
-
Dashboard is releasing contextual views for projects, but I’ve found no benefit to the dashboard because I already have RSS, which is extremely robust and mature when using services such as FreshRSS, Tiny Tiny, or Miniflux. One could even setup a carefully configured desktop and mobile RSS client for this same level of functionality while syncing their configurations via Files.
- It doesn’t make sense for me to use the Dashboard when I just want to jump directly into the Files app itself, having already seen info from Activity, Bookmarks, News apps in my RSS reader or Nextcloud Notifications.
-
Groups and Circles for sharing projects with the caveats detailed in Circles or Groups
-
Dummy users created solely for managing projects. Group Folders app has proven too unreliable, so I don’t bother with it.
System wide tagging as a universal standard for apps to deploy would be really helpful in allowing greater interoperability between these apps. Just a complex, whimsical pipe dream, so thanks for reading. Too much information for me to describe it any further above.
