Dear members, you may have the same problem: the only way I can remember things is by having some *context*. How such a context is created depends on how people actually think. You may recall a person via a place where you met before. Or a time frame combined with a place. And emotions, maybe. Probably the most popular scheme for creating a context is *classification*. People tend to create "boxes" for things because they need some context (of course, to be able to rule those things later, but it is a different story). What are we forced to use in the IT world are *folders* and *tags*. Folders allow for creating a *hierarchy*, but don't allow to have a thing (a tiddler) to be in more than one folder at the same time - *just one context only*. Tags on the other hand are *flat* in structure, but allow for *more than one context*. Tiddlywiki allows for a combination: *tags hierarchy*. Great! So I developed a system of tags that helps me recall things quickly. Just to show you what I mean by a "system of tags":
1. Data format 1.1 Image 1.2 Webpage 1.3 Video 1.4 ... 2. Message form 2.1 Report 2.2 Tutorial 2.3 Overview 2.4 Promo 3. Topic 3.1 Business 3.1.1 Marketing 3.1.1.1 Content marketing 3.1.1.2 SEO 3.1.2 Trading 3.1.2.1 Stock 3.1.2.2 Cryptocurrency 3.2 Art 3.2.1 Visual 3.2.1.1 Typography 3.2.1.2 Photography 3.2.1.3 Drawing 3.2.1.4 Architecture 3.2.2 Performing 3.2.2.1 Music 3.2.2.2 Movie 4. Subject 4.1 TiddlyWiki 4.2 Cisco 4.3 Donald Trump 4.4 ... What I created is a kind of faceted classification <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_classification>. Let me describe my ideal workflow, now: Say I came across an interesting post on Medium: *How to write something that people like to read. * I decided to save it into my TiddlyWiki. With Tiddlyclip I created new tiddler and added some tags, too: ["Webpage", "Tutorial", "Content marketing","Typography"]. A few weeks later I am writing a blog post to support my business, but I don't know how to write an interesting copy. Is there anything interesting in my TiddlyWiki? Let's have a look: First I would type "marketing" into the *search bar*. Next I want to narrow the fulltext search output to categories, so I choose "*show me tags only"*. By clicking on a "Marketing" keyword it will be added to the *search filter*. Now I have a *list of filtered tiddlers* from the Marketing *category *and all *subcategories*. Beside the list of tiddlers there is a *list of related tags.* What if I want to narrow my search again? I just click on "Tutorial" (from the related tags list) to add the tag to the filter. There are now two tags with a logical AND operator. If my list of tiddlers is still too long, I may narrow it again by choosing "Content marketing". Voila, my article is there! ;) Do you think it is feasible to create something like this? Something what Amazon has on his pages - a faceted search.
