Is it a good idea to use the tagging system to do todos? We're going to find out, I've marked a few notes with the todo tag. I think once I finish them, I'll mark them with the done tag.
Given the way I'm using the tags, I could have implemented the private/public system using tags as well.
I consider this abuse because I'm using the system that was supposed to be for grouping posts together to do something else. If you squint your eyes, it's sort of is grouping things but the original idea was to group things together and display them so users can find related content. Now I'm using it to keep a list of things that I need to do.
Maybe it's not abuse and the tagging system is simply evolving. I'm not sure what the proper solution would be, how would I want to keep track of todos? Maybe todos should go into their own file.
I tried to use #todo# to do my tags, ran into a problem with the pattern matching in BASIC. I really wish I had real regexes.
