Twitter, do you have a system for your reference library—construed broadly to include web articles, images, games, videos, etc—not just papers?
Note-taking software feels ill-suited to the purpose; academic reference library apps too heavy for this; webapps are all too slow; etc

I've been thinking about this a lot, trying all the different note taking and bookmarking apps, and I think I have novel solution that could solve this problem:

So the starting point is you need a platform that allows you to save links, notes and documents. It could allow you to create custom folder structures, but this is not critical. What is critical is a robust tagging system

What would make my idea different is as follows: 1st is tag stacks. Allow users to group their tags into structured collections. Allow me to expand and collapse tag stacks to keep things minimal. This makes it makes tags more manageable and useful.

I'm interested in something like this, but without the user having to actually create and maintain the connections. Can the structure create itself organically through signals from use?

I suppose it could use AI to recommend tags. And to some extent does this I think. But I guess you and I are different use cases. I would want full control, to build my own custom conditional tagging engine perfectly fitted to my brain. That's the dream

Oh if your question was specifically about then the answer is that you build your own tag packs. But in addition it has built in tag suggestions
Probably not, knowledge is personal and mutable but the Mac app called ‘Yep’ helps me.
