When I save a bookmark via the browser extension, I now see AI-generated tags mixed in with my own tags. There's no differentiation between them. This makes it difficult to tell which is which, especially since they can be quite similar. Several of them are compounds of tags I created. For example, I just saved a stock photo of a texture, and the app offered up "stock images," "stock photos," "stock," "texture," "images," "photos," "free," "free stock," and only 2 of my own tags, "photos," and "free stuff." Not helpful! If I don't remember the
exact
wording of the tag I created intentionally, I either have to open Raindrop to check, or I have to guess and hope I didn't just create brand new tags for a single item. When that happens, I have to open
old
Raindrop to merge the tags. It's confusing, messy, distracting, and frustrating.
There should be a clear visual distinction between tags that are already in my library and ones that aren't. Recommended existing tags should also show a count of how many there are in total. Tagging only works when the system is limited and consistent. Having too many tags Personally, I prefer to see how I'm using my tags while I'm using them. It helps avoid excess time spent maintaining my system.
If showing an indicator isn't possible, could we at least turn off the AI-generated new tags? Every time I save something now, I'm anxious about creating more chaos than my own brain already has.
