Yet another hot take on “folders versus tags”
5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Jan 2022

I wrote Supertag[0] specifically to get the same kind of ergonomics with tags as you get with folders. Basically you can dynamically render sub-folders based on the tags that apply to your current selection.
Example: /A/B contains the intersection of tags A and B. If sub-folder C exists underneath /A/B, it's because one of the files in the intersection also has tag C.
