I built a small Obsidian plugin to solve one of my biggest frustrations with folders: With a normal folder hierarchy, a note can only live in one place. If you write a note about something that belongs to multiple topics, where do you put it?
Tag Explorer solves this by generating a file structure from (nested) tags. Instead of forcing notes into a single folder, the same note can show up in multiple places based on its tags.

"The biggest bird killer in the US (and likely, the world) is #Cats. Outdoor cats kill somewhere between 1.3 billion and 4 billion birds a year in the US alone. Let’s put it this way: for every one bird that dies in the blades of a turbine, domestic cats are dragging roughly 4,000 back to the porch."

Zeker, dat kan met Yivi. Yivi heeft ook al lang privacy-vriendelijke leeftijdsverificatie draaiend, zie:
Ook daar zou NL gebruik van kunnen maken.
De rest van de wereld binnenkort ook, trouwens, want paspoort uitlezen komt als gegevensbron in Yivi.
