+- Q1: Can this be considered as a UI to manage hardlinks with
+ additional functionality such as listing the hardlinks of a single
+ file?
+ - A: that is part of what it could be considered.   I see it more
+ as re-imagining the Unix/Linux file system as a data cloud
+- Q2: Remark: I did a PhD on that very same topic:
+ <https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml> - Your approach does
+ seeom to have similarities to the Semantic File System (Gifford et
+ al) or SemFS (Mohan at al) or TagFS (Bloehdorn et al).
+ - A: yes, I just started checking it out.   I was not aware of any
+ of those when I wrote it.   I just had a need for a much more
+ comprehensive filing/retrieval system to support my various
+ activities (law, programming, time management, etc\...).   It
+ worked amazingly well at the time but \"life happened\" and I
+ was never really able to keep it up with the times like porting
+ it from the orphaned XEmacs into FSF and promote it at all.

- N-Angulator: I wrote it 10 years ago and am no porting it to GNU emacs
- is this a graph-as-filesystem
- I'd much rather work with keybindings rather than clicking things. Is there support for that?
