Guide

How to use researchspace without turning it into another dump.

Use it as a small research operating system: capture links, add just enough context, and publish clean shelves when they are useful to others.

The basic workflow

01
Claim a username
Your username becomes the public address for links you choose to share. Keep it short enough to put in a bio, syllabus, newsletter, or project note.
02
Save links as you research
Add articles, papers, docs, repos, videos, and threads. Researchspace cleans common tracking parameters so your shelf stays readable.
03
Tag by retrieval, not perfection
Use tags you would naturally search later: topic, project, source type, person, client, course, or decision.
04
Write private notes
Keep the reason you saved something next to the link. Notes are for your signed-in workspace and are not shown on public pages.
05
Publish only what is useful
Mark selected links public when a shelf is ready to share. Keep drafts, messy reading, and private context hidden.

Good tags are boring in the best way. They should help you retrieve a link six months later, not describe every possible attribute.

Use one tag for the main topic, such as ai-agents, climate, design-systems, or hiring.
Use one tag for the active project, course, client, newsletter issue, or decision.
Use source-type tags only when they change how you search: paper, dataset, repo, benchmark, case-study.
Merge near-duplicates when search starts feeling noisy.

Draft reading, personal notes, client links, internal docs, source leads, and anything that needs context before it is useful.

Curated reading lists, project references, course materials, public bookmarks, newsletter source shelves, and portfolio research trails.
