Tags
{R&D, computer_vision, Python, OpenCV, MVP} <- Tags to be positioned at the end of the note line within curly brackets. Alternatively, tags to precede the note, if they apply to a group of notes below. Use the empty curly brackets {} or the next date to terminate the relevance of the tags. Combine both methods if further complexity is required.
