I noticed this extension uses a period to manage hierarchy in tags - eg. uni.units.thisunit. Is there a reason why periods were chosen? Perhaps it would make more sense to use a slash for a more standard approach to hierarchy (parallels filesystems, etc.) - eg. uni/units/thisunit?

It's arbitrary. But periods were chosen as to not mimic a filesystem too much, since it's nowhere near that. In the future, I plan to expose the delimiter as an option so the user can choose a slash.

I also kinda prefer a slash because the extension is not yet available on mobile, and a slash makes it easier to visually identify the logic. E.g.:

  • aussie-wildlife.birds
  • aussie-wildlife/birds

For now I either have to edit each new tag, or change my naming logic. An option for this would be helpful, thank you for considering it!

Perhaps this would be an option at some point..
