I use wikilinks for in-line relations. I use tags to categorize notes. I use this categorization to find relevant notes. Types of tags I use are #topic/personal #topic/science #topic/science/biology #date/2026-03-01 #status/scratchpad #type/temporal #type/evergreen #type/source What do you think about that approach to structure? Do you see any problems with that? I wish I could see my date tags on a calendar, haven't found a solution to that. ---

I think Silverbullet gives you a lot of freedom to organize how you see fit. And the flexibility to query the results in whatever way works well for you. Personally, I don't use slashes in by tags. Instead I would tag a note with #topic #personal (but since the topics and types are not overlapping, you could leave this additional step out all together. But #science #biology as separate tags makes more sense to me. As for the dates, I use Journals for dates and Mr Red provides a nice tool to see journal posts on a calendar. I also use a folder structure, because I'm not brave enough to lean fully on tags, and because I like the Tree View. But that is probably my old-fashioned side 🙂 But the bottom line is: In Silverbullet, you do whatever works for you. ---

> [@thick.cliff](#): > > I wish I could see my date tags on a calendar, haven't found a solution to that. i know it's not exactly what you had in mind, but you could try my [Floating Journal Calendar](https://github.com/Mr-xRed/silverbullet-libraries/blob/main/FloatingJournalCalendar.md) maybe it's something you could live with for journal entries. it has some basic customizastion option like: journalPathPattern = 'Journal/#year#/#month#-#monthname#/#year#-#month#-#day#\_#weekday#' where you can set your desired path pattern where to save the journal entry. instead of the tags displayed on a calendar it shows your notes from a certain path in a calendar. if you haven't tried it yet, i'd recommand you to do so. and also like @Mike said, Silverbullet is much more flexible and gives you the freedom to categorize your notes, i wouldn't rely only on a single category option like tags. you could combine tags, paths, other attributes in the frontmatter, for categorizing notes. And if you rely on a more complex folder structure, there is always [Document Explorer](https://github.com/Mr-xRed/silverbullet-libraries/blob/main/DocumentExplorer.md) or [Silversearch](https://github.com/MrMugame/silversearch) to find your notes easily. ---

I like that.I'm running silverbullet in a LAN with no online access. Do you know how I can pre-download your library to use it offline? ---

if you don't want to use the Library Manager to download the libraries. and you want to download them to work offline. its more like a workaround and it isn't the recommended way, but here are the steps: ### Step 1. Go to: [GitHub - Mr-xRed/silverbullet-libraries: Awesome SilverBullet libraries · GitHub](https://github.com/Mr-xRed/silverbullet-libraries/) ### Step 2. Go to `Code` -\> `Download ZIP` ![image](https://community.silverbullet.md/uploads/default/original/2X/6/618e884a49a8e5e4aa15fe8612c202557d333c60.png) ### Step 3. Upload/Copy the unzipped files into your space under `Library/Mr-xRed/*` (alternatively copy only the libraries(\*.md files and their dependencis (if there are)) which you want to be available in your space) ### Step 4. Run the commands: `System: Reload` and then `Client: Reload UI` ### ✅ Done. All the current version of my libraries are available offline in your space, without the need to connect SB to the internet. > **Warning** > If you do it like this, the libraries wont be updatable, and you need to manually delete and redownload/recopy the libraries to your space, if there is a new update. > So although it's possible i strongly doesn't recommend in doing it like this. ---

I will do that in the docker container, so that every time I rebuild it I get the new version of your library.
