[Feature Request] Show/Autocomplete existing tags in Bookmarklet

Open iondive opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Thanks for this nice selfhosted pinboard alternative!

Would it be possible to fetch and show existing tags in the bookmarklet to avoid duplicate tags? I tend to forget my tags and usually end up with e.g. tool, tools, howto, how-to, etc. 😬

your welcome!

I'm guess I'm not quite sure what the proper UI/UX for a feature like this would look like.

I kind of want to avoid the bookmark add popup to be a busy area; i'd like it to be as minimal and streamlined as possible.

Perhaps there could be a tag management page that could address duplicate tags instead of showing this on the bookmark add page

I was thinking about something very simple, like https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_autocomplete.asp

Only difference would be that after selecting a tag, adding additional ones is possible with the same method.

Another example that comes to mind that offers hinting but maintains a clean, out-of-the-way look is the tag suggestions that StackOverflow gives you.

tag_suggestions

Multiple tags:

tag_suggestions_2

I appreciate the objective of keeping the bookmark popup to be as streamlined as possible. The only thing that really gives me pause on this page is, "Was that one tag plural? A gerund? One word or hyphenated?"
