Drag feeds into tags #391

Open zarino opened 10 years ago

zarino commented 10 years ago

My typical workflow:

  1. Subscribe to a new feed (often using the Chrome extension)
  2. Drag the new feed from the bottom of the feed list into a tag/folder
  3. Realise dragging into tags/folders doesn't work
  4. Click the "Tag" button
  5. Type the name of the folder that's right in front of me – Grrrr
  6. Click the second "Tag" button

Surely I'm not the only one who finds themselves regularly doing this? I think it's my years of Google Reader muscle memory.

I'd understand the lack of dragging if tags were non-exclusive. But feeds can only have one tag at a time so dragging is surely the most intuitive way of assigning those tags?

I'm happy to have a go at adding this myself in a pull request. Is it the sort of feature you'd accept?

Feeds can absolutely have more than one tag, they're separated by commas.

That would be awesome, I'd definitely accept a pull request, but I've always envisioned any sort of dragging and dropping to allow you to re-order feeds, assign feeds to tags and re-order feeds within tags.

There are a some things I found tricky when working on this before:

Whoa! Never even knew about the comma thing. Cool!

I'll take a look at your code and see whether I can work enough of it out to have a try at implementing some sort of draggable behaviour.

:+1: for this!

zarino commented 10 years ago

Out of interest, @mhubig, do you use tags like folders (ie: each feed can only have one tag at a time) or as tags (ie: each feed can have more than one tag)?

mhubig commented 10 years ago

Hm, at the moment I use the tags as folders. But this could be because I didn't know of the "comma feature" either and there was no drag and drop. ;-) Within gmail I use them as tags ... so if I could vote, I would vote for tags!

Hey all,

Also, did not know about this and have been treating tags as categories (i.e. mutually exclusive)

Is this comma syntax documented; if so, I missed it and if not, it should be!

Interested to know how y'all are organising your feeds almost three years later..?

Hope to hear back

Cheers
