Manage the flow of notes for continuous curration of the Zettelkasten

Edit

Beside tags and keywords notes come with a third set of labels: flow tags. In most representations of a note, we do not show the flow tags. We use them for administrative functions, e.g. selecting the notes to be displayed.

Examples:

In the inbox, we show you the notes with the flow tag inbox.
We help you to improve your note collection and check the notes for different characteristics. So the summary should be as short as possible. If you no longer want us to warn you that a note has a very long summary, then set the flow tag accept-summary.

We use Flow tags to mark different processing states of notes and support the capture and editing process.
