Should be build one using a tag? What are your thoughts?

I am thinking of using it as a todo list.
Imagine this @taskmaster4450le @cryptothesis
Using Threads as a publicly accountable to-do list. You could offer to give someone $10 worth of LEO if you don't accomplish the list
There are web2 projects that do this for weight loss, etc.
Wow that is a very interesting idea. Go for it and share how it works out.
Also elaborate on your idea. Perhaps a threadstorm so we can share with others.
The Markdown Guide pointed to by LeoFinance includes a section 4 To Do lists. Support 4 that Markdown feature was iffy even B4 LeoThreads came online in 2022. If LeoFinance can get this to work, then To Do lists @ LeoThreads can take off.
In my opinion,
On threads we need to focus on Thread containers used as a database.
Like, a thread container on daily basis ~ with all the latest #news.
A container with all the #entertainment info...or #sports.
Well that is a repository of info and a way to keep things tight. But that isnt really the database I am thinking.
Like what about something for recipes as an example? Post info and data.
Oh,
Then we kinda need "Reverio" like thing on Leofinance.
Reverio is a Dapp on hive.. where People ask for questions and there you get answer.. like platform full with database.
Could be good to do partnership with them and integrate it somehow (if possible).
No need for that. Can do that already. Thy are just trying to replicate quora which isnt a bad idea.
But for Leo it is must quicker hits.
Perhaps threadstorms linked together.
Might have to solve the non indexed thread problem first.
Yea, that non indexed is a issue need to be fixed.
I think using tags provides easy navigation for end users.
Thread Structure: You can structure your thread to act like a key-value store where the first thread contains the key, and subsequent threads in the line have the value. It's also possible to use hashtags as keys, making them searchable.
While it's an interesting thought experiment and could have unique uses in specific scenarios, for most practical purposes, traditional databases or even NoSQL databases would be a more efficient,
Certainly from an efficiency standpoint, that is the case. However, using Threads could be a way to generate some more value on Leo.
Dont you think?
Although threads might be slightly less efficient, they can provide a more engaging, nuanced discussion that could immensely benefit $LEO$0.083. It's all about striking the right balance between efficiency and engagement.
True. And we can always link on here to other databases that are more efficient.
Using threads as a database is an exciting concept, especially in contexts like Twitter, where threads can effectively be a series of connected tweets.
Here are a few ideas on how to approach this:
Thread Tagging: Use a unique tagging system for identification. Each thread can start with a unique identifier or tag. This can make querying easier as you can search for specific tags to retrieve the related threads.
Hierarchical Structure: You can create a hierarchical structure using threads, where one main thread acts as the 'root' of the database,
And the replies branching out serve as the 'tables' or 'fields.' Each answer can further have its responses creating a multi-level structure.
Searchability: Since the information in threads can be text-based, this could provide full-text searchability. This could be optimized using keyword tags, mentions, and other metadata.
Pinning and Highlighting: Pinning can highlight the most essential or accessed threads. It's also possible to use likes or rethreads to identify 'hot' data.
Community Participation: The unique advantage of a thread-based database on a social media platform is the possibility for the community to participate, contribute, or verify the data. This could be done via replies, rethreads, or likes.
and reliable choice for most practical purposes.
