Showing tags on sidebar

[Maaaxime]

Hi Lauthieb!

I've an idea for a new feature. I used another tools (a web one, called SnippetVamp), and a nice feature was to color the Tags and it was possible to filter directly on it by the sidebar (+ multiselection), as shown below :

PS: You did a nice work 👍 I will try to help as much as I can !

Hello @Maaaxime !
Oh thanks for these pretty ideas !! I will try to integrate a few of them in the V1.3.0.
Thansk for you compliments, if you want to develop some features, feel free to tell me :)

Hi @Maaaxime, do you want to develop this feature ?
I currently plan the next version v1.3.0 :)

Hi !
It would be a pleasure, but I'm not an Node JS expert as you are 😉 .
For the moment, if you're ok, I will continue to test & suggest some solutions + features. But I will try to develop this feature in a Clone to gain skills 😄

[lauthieb]

Okay @Maaaxime, no problem !
For your information, @guastallaigor helps me a lot by publishing colored tags in the PR #38 😄
Guys, do you have any idea about displaying this tags on sidebar ? The sidebar can have a very small height, so if we have a lot of tags, I think it will be difficult to display them...

I didn't try to do the tags inside the sidebar because of this. But if you guys want I can try. Maybe showing just the top two or something on the sidebar, and smaller? Just a thought.

Hello, I have an idea... Maybe we can have an autocomplete in the search input with tags, languages in suggestion... ?

Hello! Yeah nice idea 😊

I just met with the project and it's very promising. Personally I'm looking for a knowledge management software since two weeks and this is the first one which seems to met with my requirements. For now I have a collection of "statically organized" snippets (https://bimlas.github.io/#cheatsheet) but I'm thinking on a more efficient way which based on tags and tag relationships. This is why I drop my 2 cents:

In the sidepanel list all tag followed (and ordered) by the count of related entries, for example:

• string (9)
• integer (5)
• array (4)
• print (2)
• length (1)

When you select a tag by clicking on it, it will be added to the text entry (to have the same behaviour when controlled by mouse as when controlled by keyboard) and the related tags geting listed. For example if I select the string tag, the other tags of the related entries geting listed, like:

• print (1)
• length (1)

The counter now shows the number of entries with string and print/length.

When the tag selecting is performed from keyboard, the list of results should narrowed down by every keystroke (behaves like a regular search box) until the user hits space/comma (the first tag becames selected and selecting of second tags geting started as I said above).

Maybe this brakes the project's philosophy, but if adding plain text entries would be available, then the stuff could became a note management plus snippet management software. If it's impossible, then it can be solved by adding markdown snippets as notes.

What do you think?

[lauthieb]

Hello @bimlas, thanks a lot for your idea ! It looks pretty cool.
I think it would be nice to associate note and snippet management.
Unfortunately, I don't have any time now to maintain Code Notes 😞
Feel free if you want to develop on this software, I can help you.
