This is an example Tag Space based on my

2020
tag.

2020

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

2020
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

2020
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:

Daily Journal / Roam-like Functionality

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

Roam
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

Kinopio
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

Journal
pages and be easy to find // navigate.

So my Public Notebook link could be the

Journal
page on
Kinopio
 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...)
