so.. less lists and more labels?
when you find something in Highlighter you're interested in you can use NIP-32 labels (shoutout nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn ) to categorize it
this of course means:
whatever you categorize in highlighter is immediately available in all nostr clients; this inconspicuous act of organizing YOUR information organizes it for everybody using nostr
something-something-network-effects-something-something-compounding 😉
You can also use the search bar for, not just full-text search, you can also find by what you, and others, have categorized content as

I definitely think labels are better in almost every way
+1
they will play their full power when being used with namespaces. Intentionally or not but we kind of have linked data now in nostr.
yeah, pretty much
to be clear; I'll bring back a lot of the list+writing stuff into a separate product (Atlas Notes) but I think, for this, labels might be better as they are more dynamic: there's no mental burden in applying 6 different categories to a highlight/article, but there would be mental burden in adding it to six lists.
The issue could be so much fragmentation on labels that they become meaningless, but I think that can be solved with some UX guardrails.
