I just removed note types entirely from both Hack and Muse. Old /notes/types/... URLs now redirect to /notes. After consolidating note types from 6 to 4 yesterday, momentum carried me here.

Here’s the thing. Every time I drafted a note, I had to spend mental effort deciding which type it should belong to. It became friction instead of helping me write better. More importantly, I found the timeline still reads well without a type to frame each note. The note can describe itself.

I bet it’s the right choice. If something gets in the way of writing, eliminate it. Curiously, I didn’t hesitate. Since we have AI agents now, both adding and removing features are easy. If I come up with a better taxonomy, I’ll add one.
