This is an example Tag Space based on my tag.
As I’ve brainstormed on the idea a bit more, my focus has shifted away from the Space
itself and more on the ability to have a Persistent Tag Card
, which displays the various places the tag is used.
I’m still thinking through how a Persistent Tag Card
would be different than a potential Persistent Link Card
.
Since 2020 is now a space too, there’s a redundancy in functionality and probably a confusion of “do I tag or do I link to the space itself” if I would be able to have a Persistent Link Card
as well...
(I think the Link part is less important, but if making one makes the other easier, than I don’t think it would hurt...)
Persistent Tag Card
Tags are more fun because of the color though.
The benefit to focusing on the Card
over the Space
is the idea that I could use these cards anywhere.

Maybe I have a space that I want to have multiple Persistent Tag Cards
on various topics.
Another benefit is the Space title doesn’t necessarily need to exactly match the Tag that I end up having a Persistent Tag Card
for.
For this example, I have my Persistent Tag Card
(above) that I can interact with, but I can also write notes about 2020 anywhere in the Space
, if I have something to say, but don’t necessarily think it fits in an existing Space
or warrants it’s own Space
.
Imagine this is a card that can be interacted with and always open.
Would need to figure out MAX and MIN heights for the card and allow scrolling.
I love the Tag Space
stuff, especially if the Persistent Tag Card
is possible and can be automated with the Space creation.
The only other things I can think of to give me my ideal set-up are here:
Although, if /journal link is possible....
Less important, less fleshed out stuff over here...
Spinning my wheels some more (sorry, just having fun thinking about this...)
Right now I use has a public notebook.
What’s great is, the main link always sends you to the Daily Notes page where you can always see Today’s notes right at the top, like a blog.
I don’t expect this same functionality from because of how different the structure it’s built on is.
But a space like this, with a Persistent Tag Card
could list out all my pages and be easy to find // navigate.
So my Public Notebook link could be the page on and then people would be one click away from today’s page, without me having to manually keep the page up-to-date or readers having to learn to use the Tag
button on the bottom.
And then there’s the fact that Public and Private spaces can still link together here so I could have Daily Work Journals (private), Daily Public Journals, and Daily Private Journals, link between them all and other spaces while keeping private stuff private.
(Side-note: been struggling a lot with Tag colors reverting back to my color vs the color I changed them too....) Roam
elsewhere is still a light blue in other spaces, but those tags don’t link to this one...
With Roam I have two separate databases that can’t be linked together.
You can see Roam and Kinopio tags in use, in different colors here:
(Not sure what your visibility is to the places the Tag shows up...)
