alt Hacker NewsI can only assume this is at least a spiritual ode to Dewey Decimal? Looks neat.
I had hoped you meant that not being "either-or" would be that you should be able to get "realized hierarchies" on things. Where you could basically ask the computer to build a hierarchy on the fly.
Huh, that’s an interesting idea. “Hey AI, here are 10,000 files. Make a hierarchical categorization of them” sounds like fun.
In my case, I got a lot of value in coming up with that on my own. The result may not be rigorously perfect. In fact, I know it isn’t: some folders have lots of files, and some have few. It maps really well to my brain, though. That makes it easier for me to use, because I’m not memorizing a hierarchy someone else invented and pushed upon me. I’m using the system that sounded about right to me in the first place.
