Went through some old notes this week (I’m doing this AppKit/UIKit stuff for surprisingly many years!) and found a problem with the tags I used in one of my notes. Let’s dive right in with an example: It’s a how-to note with a code snippet. Its tags are: #appkit, #image, #screenshot.
My blog posts here usually have a line like: For tags I don’t use a lot, I sometimes don’t remember how to write them. So I do the only sane thing – and go to my website’s list of tags and look for a match. Got annoyed by that now after a couple of years :)
If you’re using hashtags on Twitter, Instagram, or in your Zettelkasten – consider CamelCasing the hashtags if there’s more than one word involved. That acually seems to help screen-readers with pronunciation. Not that many Instagram photo hashtag lists are worthy of being read aloud. But it’s nice to know that this can help for actual textual content down the line. (Examples from trending tags I pulled on German Instagram and web comics include, but are not limited, to #sundayBumDay, #towardsMoreRealityOnInstagram, and wherever the word boundaries in #inspoforallgirls and #turtleneckfashionstatementaboutthefragilityofspacetime and #whoagonetoofarnow are hidden.)
