I like that approach of tagging files to create meaningful filtering and organization a lot. How many times did I fail to find what I was looking for in a file tree only because I was off by one branch at one part of my pathing, when the file would have been "fine" being available in both paths...

In a knowledge base approach that also mean that information should not be bound to a file but available through tagging and references to a lot more workspaces / subjects.

Ex : a technical documentation that would be filled with all the relevant code extracts / third party documentation / custom notes available in the knowledge base, automatically fetched based on the tags and information entered in the tech stack or the header of the documentation.

Neat !

A quick suggestion : maybe make products items in the list a link instead of a div with JS onClick event (or adapt the event), so that we can open them up in a new tab instead of having to click, view, and then go back to the main list ?

I'm used to opening all the stuff that interest me in a new tab and continue scrolling, then look into them once I've finished the list. Maybe other people do it too :)

I tried it just now, my main issue is that I am looking for a general purpose language and you can only select a single use case with your tool :/

I will keep it in mind, though a quick search returned a project that resemble LSP integration for Ruby : https://github.com/Shopify/ruby-lsp.

Also RubyMine (IDE from Jetbrains) seems to have its own LSP integrated.

I see !

I will look into it as I did a bit of Java and a tiny bit of C# during my education and liked both the syntax and the OOP approach !

I am already using Javascript professionally and for Discord bot development through node.js

Ideally I would like to have another language in my dev pocket and take a break from the languages I use at work.

Also Javascript doesn't seems like a good choice for desktop apps (apart from Electron that suffers in the performance field) or CLI tools (unsure about this one as I never used it in this field) does it ?

Thanks for the run down !

Though I was under the impression that C# was closely related to Microsoft services and thus Windows OS ?

Not that I mind as I also run Windows on my personal machines but could be an issue for specific projects if it was the case.
