Simple Tagging Approaches Without a Full Taxonomy
Simple Tagging Approaches Without a Full Taxonomy
A formal tagging system adds complexity. While FragBin keeps things lean, you can still categorize content using creative conventions.
1. Prefix Conventions
Start titles with domain tags:
[infra] Rolling restart steps
[api] Error rate investigation
2. Section Headers as Tags
Add a TL;DR block listing relevant facets:
**Topics:** networking, caching, linux
3. Inline Hashtags (Moderate Use)
#logging #monitoring #ops
Avoid stuffing-focus on semantic clarity.
4. Curated Index Paste
Maintain a central index paste linking to grouped resources (manual tag cloud).
5. Expiration-Based Organization
Ephemeral categories (e.g. [wip]
) can naturally expire, pruning stale references.
6. Naming Checklist
- Consistent bracket format
- Avoid ambiguous abbreviations
- Keep under 3 pseudo-tags per paste
Pseudo-tagging offers 80% of the value with 0% schema overhead-perfect for FragBin’s minimalist philosophy.
