Other examples:

Book Tracking - it would be nice to see how many books I've read this year without having to manually count

Tasks this week - a count give a quick overview of whether the week is busy or not

Inventory - Saving a list of anything in Tana, it would be useful to have a count of items

The Logseq implementation is exactly what I was just about to point out. I really like the way that Logseq treats the Whiteboards as pages. They can me linked to, referenced, their content show up is search (and is also able to be referenced).

Whiteboards/Canvas are an essential tool.

I'll share my use case to display one way they function. When I read books I make a last as I read of all the salient points from the book. I bring this in as an list. Then from the list I pull the into a whiteboard. Here I begin to develop groupings, and the order them—generally moving them around to not only understand them better individually but also in relation to each other. Then from the whiteboard I can create an outline.

That is only the first step. I also have whiteboard for the top level areas of research that I'm intersted in. I can pull individual notes into areas where they will be relevant. And like the books boards, these boards will begin to develop groupings and orders. For example in the books I read I may find 30 notes about "writing" and 23 about "technology." I can bring them into the respective topic boards. And from that I will gain a deeper understanding of these topics through out all of my reading.

The whiteboards are key to this synthesis.
