Sure, the issue is I personally am rather forgetful, and I’ve been using deepdwn as a combo todo list, journal, and daily notes. And sometimes I’ve forgotten that I’ve already had this thought about doing XYZ thing before. I am, however very consistent with tagging things I’m just again forgetful inconsistent with what tag I’ve used. For example, I have 3 tags:

Junk Drawer - Like a kitchen’s junk drawer, everything is in there you need definitely, but that’s also not where it should go, but you know that its’ in there somewhere and one day you’ll need it.

Notes For Future Me - Things I can’t do right now, but when I have some downtime, I should come to look back at this

Notes From Past Me - Basically, think sticky notes from past sleep-deprived past you. Not necessarily a To Do more of a Heads up

Basically, when what I want is when I select a tag, the timeline at the bottom will light up with the other days this tag was used. And then if I select multiple tags, it will light up with where they’re both found - hopefully in a different color shade, but that’s like an even deeper hey this would be nice -

9 things would be highlighted

Only 3 things would be highlighted

Tied to the auto-complete thing so since deepdwn knows Junk Drawer was tagged in this document’s metadata this new document has similar but not exactly the same metadata “hey do you wanna add this additional previously used metadata tag to this document?”

Tbh this might be a super edge case, all things considered.

PS, Did I break something or is the document data specific to each machine?

Thanks, it’s really helpful to see people’s workflows for features like this; they can be so different from one another.

For the first part: what value do you get from seeing which day a tag was used?

Note that “Used” is kind of a loaded term here. For clarification, Deepdwn could only tell you which days had edits to files that currently have that tag, but not days that tag was added or removed, since that kind of history isn’t stored.

So, if you added a tag to a file today that had a lot of edits in the past, your whole calendar might light up. Similarly, if you had a file tagged for a while, and removed that tag (or the file itself), no days would light up for that tag, for that file.

If you could see all of the days that all files with “Notes For Future Me” were (ever) updated, what would you then do with that information?

I’m not against the feature, but I think there may be other ways that Deepdwn could help, and some of them might be helpful to people with different workflows as well.

is the document data specific to each machine?

It is, yes. As a core feature, all of Deepdwn’s data is local, including your global and per-document word counts. This info is store in a sqlite database next to your config file, but Deepdwn doesn’t have any facilities for merging these between multiple machines currently.
