I agree with “does it work for me, then it’s a success” to a certain extent. I am really happy with my project, it does what I needed it to do, and my company allowed me to open-source it. If that was all that happened I would still consider my project a success. What has been really enjoyable for me, however, is working with contributors and seeing developers use the tool. So I feel like - for me at least - there has to be more than just building and releasing it.

Now that’s a great indicator

Great script - thanks for sharing

This is really cool - thanks for sharing! Is there a way to have multiple categories in a file that aren’t subcategories of the first tag?

Thanks! And yeah we can put an empty line to break off into a new category. So essentially it's one category per paragraph. Within a paragraph, there can be sub-categories one level deep. You can also put tags inline.

I'm still trying to figure out how to allow nesting categories an arbitrary number of levels deep. But I don't want to introduce extra symbols and stuff, it'll be too much complexity too early on. I can imagine that for most cases, headings, sub-headings and inline tags are enough.

I will allow more customisation soon, such as using multiple heading identifiers. I'll add features as the need arises. I haven't used it for very long myself.

My naive initial assumption (just due to my own bias) was that nesting would work the same way as in Markdown – i.e., that the number of `#`’s indicates the heading level.

Maybe worth for you to consider? It’s a well known convention, it should be fairly self-explanatory, and it would work independent of the notion of paragraphs.

    ## flowers
    lily

Ahh I don’t know how i missed that. I guess i didn’t see the forest for the trees. This looks like the right way to go
