Is IMF for me?
If you’re just starting out You don’t need any of this. Just make notes and start writing. Worry about structure later.
If you’ve got around 100-500 notes Some of your favorite notes will become harder to find. You’ll start to desire a way to structure and organize your notes. Like a vampire thirsting for blood, you’ll find yourself gravitating toward the creation of Maps of Content.
If you’ve got around 1000-4000 notes You’ll want to structure your structures. This is where these flexible frameworks starts providing mega-value. There are a lot of benefits.
If you’ve got 4000-40,000 notes I’ve now entered the realm of speculation… Note retrieval issues become amplified: can you find the thing you’re looking for? I would say your only hope is a fundamentally robust set of coexisting frameworks. Hopefully an IMF-equipped library can scale effectively at these numbers. You’ll probably have MOCs built upon other MOCs. I would imagine the Index would still be your initial launching pad.
If you’re still enthusiastic about IMF-styled libraries, then start setting up your IMF frameworks.
