Valid point as always!

You bring up a good point with the Folders. The issue of categorizing in Fibery is probably one of my biggest challenges. I actually don’t really “get” the need for Apps in the first place, as it seems they are arbitrary since you can freely link across them, and with the hope of [Polymorphic Relations](https://community.fibery.io/t/polymorphic-relations-when-creating-relation-ability-to-have-entire-app-from-which-to-choose-and-not-just-type/425/14), we’d have a lot of their importance solved - for example the point you just talked about of needing so many fields to link to all Types in an App.

\*\*\*Incidentally there is not much movement on that request maybe we can coax @Chr1sG and yourself to bring that one back to the mix as I’m sure many more users would be in favor!

Anyway, I tend to see Apps as more of an Entity that has similar functionality to “Spaces” that are a backbone of a ton of other apps - Wrike, Jira/Confluence, ClickUp, Zenkit, etc. But in reality I think they are basically a way to group Types in a way that’s logical to a team, but otherwise don’t have any other benefit. In fact, I think the Apps should evolve as more of a special “Type” of their own, kind of like how Docs are an outlier in the Fibery scheme (because everything else is an Entity of one sort or another, if not a view…). As a related point, I think the Fibery Extensions are a more appropriate “app” of a sort, as they provide extra functionality that I’d associate with an “app.” Jira, ClickUp, to name a few also handle these extra features with something call an “app.”

So where I’m going with this is Folders are also a sort of categorization tool, but without real substance. Not much Metadata for example. I have found it confusing to try to figure out if I want to set up folders on the left pane, instead of using the native Many-to-one basically relation to accomplish the same. In the latter case as least I’m using real entities to categorize stuff, giving me the capability to at least Refer to them - I can’t reference Folders sadly. I would even like to see a potentially additional step where you’d have a “Master” grouping capability outside Type relations, to help categorize stuff that otherwise you have to use an Entity for, like in the original Wiki Template where “Folder” was a Type for this sole purpose.

I hope that makes some sense and this feedback will be picked up somewhere as useful. Not exactly on topic, but I think very relevant to the issue of categorization, which we are talking about with the “sub-documents” motif!
