I understand the shareability part.
Could you describe what exactly you envision by “archive”?
Discussion
Keeping notes and the way they are archived, or viewable, is what makes or breaks if I ever go back to check on those notes again or if they just become something I’ll never re-visit.
Being able to save by tags, or lists, or in relation to each other (kind of like the beautiful graph views you have on Obsidian).
Sometimes notes have to do with a project you’re working on and you want them easily viewable together even if they are from way back :)
Also, i think web of trust isn’t very integrated as a way to archive and view, and i wonder if this is something that could be of interest to others too :)
Yes, WOT is very powerful.
Tell me what job specifically WOT is doing for you in the context of archive, and how?
For the moment it’s not doing much for me in terms of archiving, (i think), but it feels for filtering visualization according to “provenance” according to the “Kevin Bacon degrees” you apply.
Just spitting out abstract ideas 😅,
how do you think WOT can be powerful for desktop notes? :)
Ok, so “provenance” is separate from “archiving” job.
What job is the “provenance” “degrees” job doing for you? Are you examining this before, during, or after you read a note?
Right now most “archiving” is done through bookmarks or lists. Lists can be made according to “provenance” manually but bookmarks are mostly chronological so it’s more difficult to find note according to topic or WOT.
I usually like to reexamine the notes after.
For the moment, in some clients, provenance degrees is simply a filter of what notes you want to see from how many “degrees” far off from your direct follows.
It could be interesting to have an archive that allows to visualize your notes according to source/degrees or connections. How many people in your network interacted with it, etc…
Just brainstorming out loud :)
