Enable sub-layers in hashtags

Or, eliminate Lists and change them into multi-layer hashtags. This may seem too aggressive, but they actually have many overlaps.

💭 Suggestion:

  • Allow for sub-layers in hashtags (in this case, Lists may become unnecessary)

🌟 Benefits:

  1. Allow for an entry to be linked with more than one “list” → More flexibility or “sub-list” → more precision.

  2. without affecting how users use Lists today.

  3. Potentially eliminating one duplicate feature, making the app even simpler to use.

📝 Use case example:

  • Today, I’m using a List entitled “Work”, with necessary sub-lists under it, such as “recruiting”, “leadership“, “product design”, “tasks”, “project XX”, etc.

  • I also have a List entitled “Health”, with sub-lists “health tips“, “weight“, “stress“, "sleep”, “work out”, etc.

  • I tend to log what kinds of tasks at work would have an impact on my health. e.g. a task in “product design” is so tough it keeps me awake at night, I’d like to link it to both “Work-Product Design” and “Health-Sleep” / “Health-Stress”.

  • When I look back on the “Health” area in retrospect, I could clearly see what has been affecting that. Vice versa, if I look at the "Work” area.

  • This is not possible in the setup today.

Not sure if I misunderstood the purpose of Lists & Hashtags.

Thank you for reading this and your consideration. 😊

    I had another typical use case of mine today, sharing it here for reference: 😊

    I have a list for Project XXX, and I want to also tag a customer, say Michele. I can do this today, but when you have more customer tags without a structure, it could be a bit cluttered.
