Display a count of items, eg "(23) Bookmarks tagged coffee"

GUI improvement to display the count of items for each tag

[steve-bate]

I have tag counts on my instance (fork). Is this what you had in mind?

That definitely looks like what I'd imagine (and remember from sites like del.icio.us) and what is described in the issue title). I see you have a few other nice additions as well @steve-bate - the Atom "radar" icon for individual tag pages, and the +/- filtering - good work!

So I mean no offense by it, I think it's pure preference, but this is the first time someone's requested something that I don't personally want, which I knew would happen eventually!

I do appreciate that Steve's version of it has appropriate markup that I could use in a custom stylesheet to hide it 😄 I always preferred Pinboard's approach of making the tag color lighter/darker instead of adding lots of numbers to the page.

I'd definitely merge a PR from Steve (or someone reproducing how Steve implemented it), and it will motivate me to get us to a place where people can more easily reset/add to styles in a way that's compatible with using git to pull in new changes without overwriting CSS customizations.

Thanks for the report and I hope you can take my commentary in the spirit I mean it (you're obviously not alone in wanting this!)

This is something that could potentially be configurable from a UI perspective, I think. I'm... ambivalent I guess, I think a toggle for "show bookmark counts" somewhere as a user setting would be fine.

yeah, I could even see there being a little dropdown menu at the corner of the tags list itself that lets you toggle it on the fly? That requires more client-side JS and probably a cookie or localStorage or something... Probably an admin setting makes the most sense.
