Hello,
used Linkding before. One really fantastic feature it has- I miss it a lot here:
It has a simple tag-list on the side, grouped by the initial letter. So it has a very good overview. (Image 1)
When you then click on a tag in this list, the bookmarks on the left side are filtered by this tag.
The tag goes to the top of the tag-list on the right, turns red & bold and gets a minus. So it is optically clear, that this tag is the one you are filtering by.
And the best: The tag list is also filtered: Now it only shows the tags which are in the filtered bookmarks. (Image 2)
The second best feature: Now you can click on the red tag (in this case "polls" to remove that "polls"-filter or you click on another (green) tag, to drill down the listed bookmarks.
So I clicked on "booking" >now there is only 1 bookmark anymore, which has both tags (polls & booking). And because, this bookmark does not have any other tag, there is also no more green tag in the tag-list on the right. (Image 3)
Now I can remove "polls" from the filter or remove "booking" from the filter by clicking one of the red tags. And if I like to see again all bookmarks, then I just click on Linkding on the topleft. So this is very very fast, easy to learn, easy to do and totally intuitive.
What Raindrop has at the moment is:
Static tag-list on the left. With no good overview.
The dynamic tag-list you have in the filter-bar. So what do you have to do to get the same result:
  1. Click into the filter-bar.
  2. Type the first letters of the wanted tag & click on it.
  3. click on the "filter search"-symbol with the arrow.
  4. Click on "Tag".
  5. Type & choose the next wanted tag.
So you need to do 3 steps for every tag you want to filter additionally. Instead of only 1 step like in Linkding.
Also for removing a tag from the filter, you need more steps than in Linkding.
WISH 1: Please integrate such dynamic tag-list in Raindrop. Please.
WISH 2: And please also integrate such dynamic tag-list in the "creating bookmark"-Popup. I mean: When tagging a bookmark f.e. with "plant", then show only the tags which are used by other bookmarks tagged with "plant". Or at least, show me these tags on the top of the list. In this way it would be easier for me to remember, which tags for plants already exist. (As an example)
By the way: With these both features (already partly integrated) it is not anymore needed to have hierarchical tags.
