parent & children tags to form a more useful taxonomy

January 29, 2019

Would appreciate this for one of my use cases.
I bookmark a lot of instagram posts with places I want to visit. I'd like to create a hierarcy of places:
Places:
-Spain
--Malaga
-Italy
--Rome
--Florence
I thought I could do this with Collections but then I lose all the power of the tag. If there's a video with Top 10 Places to Scuba Dive. It's could contain 10 different countries. Which Collection does this go it?
I think for organisation as well, it would help to keep the tags themselves grouped.

Yes please

We already love tags, they allow us to organize items into all the potential contexts, or however tags are used
Nested tags would allow us to organize this organization system better, into context hierarchy, or however one prefers
This would help with finding relevant items, but also keep a neat looking sidebar
Bear, the notes app, is an example of this method: https://bear.app/faq/nested-tags/

Also in favor of hierarchical tags. Many use cases, for instance: subtags for "#media/video," "#media/audio," etc. that could all be surfaced just by searching "#media."

Pictured is the tag pane from bookmark software Anybox, as an example. Hierarchical tags is one of the few advantages Anybox currently has over Raindrop.io.

Timothy DuBay Two others that offer it are Goodlinks (Mac app like Anybox) and GGather which is a web app. Goodlinks has a browser built in, which is an advantage over Anybox. GGather is the best of all of them, but sadly it's obvious they simply won't upgrade their infrastructure to be reliable, and I doubt they'll be around in a few years, otherwise it is better than Raindrop.

i need it to extend it to my Obsidian exports, which makes good use of tags in their GraphView. surprised its not here yet.

I want this. I am hitting some errors today with a workaround of “Parent/Tag” (ie when the tag name contains a slash).

Definite need. You can even do the lazy way which is the 1Password way where they are just edited by slashes rather than with a whole menu system.

Andrew Young

good idea

I'd love that feature too! 
It would also be very handy if the tag list could be opened in the main area of the screen, in a smiliar way that you can see all your Projects in ToDoist.
It would improve the UI accessibility to not have to scroll all the way down to the list of tags when we need to manage our tags.
To make it even more efficient, add a client-side filter, so that only the  tags that match the searched terms would be listed.
