Sleek tag management on reposts

Issue #45 new
Fichte Foll created an issue

I have a couple ideas of how tags can be used and improved in general. Will create separate issue for each distinct feature.

For starters, I believe it should be able to quickly add tags when reposting a post. Furthermore, it should be possible to edit existing tags on a post by (un-)selecting them.

For a concrete usage example, let’s say I’m reposting an image post with the “fav” tag. I don’t want to use that tag, but instead I want to add the tag “comic”. My suggested work flow would be as follows:

  1. “repost on X”
  2. open open some kind of multi-select with the post’s existing tags pre-entered
  3. I press Backspace to remove the latest item, which is its only tag “fav”
  4. I insert “comic” and hit space to add that tag to the selection
  5. meanwhile I get completions for all tags currently on my blog
  6. I hit Enter to submit my tag selection

If most people are unlikely to use this feature, which is quite possible, it should be optional and enabled through a setting.

    As you realized, this would stop you from reposting with one click.

    The way it was on Soup.io was that after reposting Soup inserted a permalink to your repost so you could easily go there and edit it.

    Too many clicks for my taste, but if you provide an endpoint I could build it myself in a userscript.
