First of all: I really like the idea and the execution. It's a pretty solid piece of software.
As tagging is the main (the only?) way to organize documents, I think it should be easier/faster to tag a document. I'm in the middle of processing a lot of documents and tagging is. what's slowing me down the most.
Right now tagging an existing document involves about 6 clicks/steps:
→ opening a document
→ edit
→ focus tag input
→ type tagname
→ confirm tag
→ save document
I think some kind of drag and drop mechanism could drastically reduce the TTT (Time To Tag). What makes it difficult UI-wise right now is that not all tag hierarchies are displayed in the navigation at the same time and selecting a tag to look for tags further down the hierarchy might hide the document to tag. I'm willing to contribute if anyone has a reasonable idea of how to implement that into the current UI.
Another thought of arranging hierarchies of Tags: There's the tags editor, which is nice, but it could also benefit a lot from a drag and drop mechanism in terms of dropping tags on their parent tags to create a relation.
