That’s a great point — collaboration creates a natural “audience filter”, which reduces hoarding because you’re writing for someone, not just storing for yourself.

Kanban as a shared representation of “active work” also feels like the cleanest project-context signal: it’s explicit, lightweight, and already part of how the team coordinates.

Curious: in your experience with relay.md, what actually changes behavior the most?

1. social accountability (others will see messy notes)

2. having a shared kanban/project board

3. conventions/templates for how notes get promoted from “rough” to “reference”

Details in my HN profile/bio if you want more context on the “active projects as constraints” angle I’m exploring.
