i have thought of a silly concept for linux which is basically a document set manager.

how this works is basically storing all of your shit in dot-dirs outside of the Documents folder. then depending on the document set you have active, it symlinks those directories back in to the documents folder. non-relevant directories are unlinked.

the point of this is you basically set your userspace to some project and it sweeps away the irrelevant crap.

@icedquinn I'm pretty sure I get this from Projectile or other project managers. But maybe it depends which irrelevancies are getting in your way

@worldsendless projectile doesn't work at the workstation level. you open a file browser to find a test page to open in firefox and the elisp doesn't help :blobcatcoy:

@icedquinn ooh! I didn't expect you to speak my language.

It's probably too much of a rabbit hole to actually recommend to someone, but with exwm and buffler I don't think I have this problem of irrelevant clutter getting in the way of my navigation.
