Those should also exist, of course.
I thing that the main way, which is on a panel called “Tags”, should have been implemented since day one, because that’s where we can manage all tags. That’s what seems to make more sense to me, along with the creation on topic creation. Much more than the bulk upload, for example.
I think some of the things I’ve been finding in Discourse to be “weird” is more about creating confusion on things that would make sense being in a certain place. And as you can see, these things tend to populate the forum a lot, when it wouldn’t be necessary if there was some logic behind it.
Not trying to sound “rude” or anything, especially because I’ve been loving Discourse and what allows us to do. I just think that some of these things should get a bit more “love and attention” and shouldn’t be put at the bottom of the priority list, just because there’s a workaround and they are not high priority. We as users also like to see “non-priority” things getting some attention to make everything look and run smoother and easier to work with.
For example as much as the old way was not ideal, where the components were presented with those images with the shapes, the new layout is pretty bad, tbh. It’s all cramped and hard to work with, especially in smaller screens. Sure, we can still do what needs to be done, but some of these things (like the components panel) is just a few CSS lines to change width, hide some unnecessary panels, etc.
Hope you guys find time to fix these non-priority things. Unfortunately, from what I see from the post you shared, it’s been 5 years since that topic was created and there’s still no update on that.
Again, I don’t want to sound rude or ungrateful for a platform as good as this, and provided for free. Not at all. I just wish the details also mattered, especially when users feel that things aren’t working as they should.
