The Filtering Problem: Why You Need Categories and Hashtags
Most bookmarking tools make you pick one: broad categories or granular tags. In real life, you need both—fast context and precise intent.
The model
Use categories as layer one (where you are), then hashtags as layer two (what you’re looking for).
Example:
- Category: Finance
- Hashtags: #macro #rates #equities
Why it works
A category shrinks the space instantly. Hashtags then isolate exactly what matters—without endless scrolling or fuzzy search.
Practical rules
- Keep categories stable over time.
- Keep hashtags short and explicit.
- Avoid duplicates and synonyms (e.g., #ai + #artificialintelligence = noise).
Team tip
If several people curate, agree on a small shared tag dictionary and review it monthly.
