Some more updates to the main repo of this TIL site today, in particular I have added a new fzf-tags.fish script.

til uses this script to

  1. Scrapes all the YAML tags: frontmatter from all current Markdown posts,
  2. Puts me into a multi-select fzf menu containing them, and
  3. Puts anything I select into the tags: of the new blog post.

Tags form natural breadcrumb trails throughout a blog as it grows organically over time. Many an afternoon have I spent reading one or two particular tags of interest from a prolific blog. But, if you don’t remember to reuse the tags in the first place, you’ll never build the trail in the first place.
