Curious what the community thinks... - I'm interested naming my Dendron notes with a single word (
git.md
, 
bootstrap.md
, 
azure.md
, etc.), then use tags to searching for info (
#azure-sdk
, 
#python-sdk
, etc.). - Rationale: - The hierarchy I would try to name my Dendron files always seemed like tags anyways; highly arbitrary, etc. - Keeps the schema flat - What are your thoughts on this approach?

generally, i'm a fan of flat hierarchies because my 40% usecase for dendron is referencing things quickly
i would say that a two level schema is most effective for me
so 
pkg.git
for all software packages
and all packages have common children (eg. `pkg.{name}.[quickstart|config|deploy|...])
i have an aws hierarchy since I did a lot of AWS work.
Copy code
yml
version: 1
imports: []
schemas:
  - id: aws
    title: aws
    parent: root
    children: 
      - pattern: "s"
        title: service
        namespace: true
        children:
          # service related stuff
          - ...
      - pattern: "ref"
        children: 
          - pattern: "accounts"
          - pattern: "conventions"
            desc: "naming conventions"

I’m still in the process of working out my system and this looks interesting

Are you referencing code snippets

Hm...my understanding of schemas is limited. I'll read up on them to figure out how they fit into file naming conventions (I thought they were for markdown templates only).

They do help with templates, but they also provide feedback on whether you're naming a new note "correctly." I'm on my phone so I can't share a screenshot, but having a schema defined will make more visual feedback happen in the lookup bar, which is extra handy when creating a note.
