#note/new # App Folders I have an `App` folder under `Atlas/Notes`, which includes *app folders* to keep together my app notes, information, and knowledge about applications. ## App integration Since I have knowledge about many apps in my environment, as well as interest in development technologies, I have many notes about apps so it helps to organize them in app folders. This also helps with major efforts like _Obsidian Integration_ that focuses on integrating many apps with Obsidian. So it seems appropriate to have these [[Focus Folders]] with a specific purpose. ## Knowledge vs action However, I have now moved my app folders from Efforts to the Atlas folder within my [[ACE Organization]] since applications represent a major part of my *knowledge* base. In my existing Ideaverse vault, I originally had apps under `Technology/App` within my `Efforts/Notes` folder hierarchy. I was attempting to use folders to organize by category, topic, and group. However, I found this became unwieldy and inflexible over time. After watching Nick Milo's recent video on folders, and rethinking my own folders, I decided these really belong under Atlas rather than Efforts since they are notes about knowledge (not action). At first, I thought I might have an `Atlas/Apps` folder, but instead I decided to use `Atlas/Notes/App` for these app notes. ## App notes I define an App fileClass with Metadata Menu for each *app note* that represents an application; it includes properties associated with an app: name, category, topic, group, rank. For example, there is an [[Obsidian]] app *note* in my *Ideaverse* vault, and there is a corresponding Obsidian *page* on my Ghost website. ## App maps Also, there is a corresponding *app map* for each application. There is an [[Obsidian Map]] note that I use to organize and develop related notes about Obsidian.
