A tag cloud page
What is the problem you are facing?
I find that one of the main issue in funkwhale today is that it is hard to discover music, or quickly find music to listen. The only access you have are artists (so many) or albums (so many). The tags are a good way to do that but right now they are not easily accessible.
What I suggest is to have a tag cloud page:
- There would be a link in the main "Explore" left menu to this page to have it easily accessible (maybe in "My Library" too?)
- The page would have a list of all (?) tags with their size based on the number of albums tagged with it
- A click on a tag would redirect to the tag page
With some help, I would be willing to help developing it, I would really love to have this feature on my FW pod.
What are the possible drawbacks or issues with the requested changes?
- Adding another page to the main menu (I think it is worth it, but need discussion)
- I am not sure if there is an easy way to get all the tags and their usage frequency, it may be easy for the db, I am not sure
