I'm guessing that many of you would also like the "Tag "Clusters"" and "Tag Refactoring Tool" requests. Please upvote them if you like those ideas:

https://better.raindrop.io/feature-requests/p/tag-refactoring-tool
Ultimately, it seems like what people are looking for in this request (and the "Tag Refactoring Tool" and "Hierarchical Tags" requests) is a powerful tag management tool.
Supporting hierarchies in the tag management tool would be fine, but a more robust solution might be some sort of ontology or network/graph-like structure in which relationships between tags could be defined.
For me, this is a problem that comes up over and over in lots of contexts (e.g. organizing my email folders, my Google Drive layout, etc etc). There must be a well-studied academic solution for this kind of information management. If anyone can reply with an article along these lines, I'd be very interested.

So.. folders of tags? And then you'll ask for tags for your folders of tags? How about folders of tags of folders of tags? How's this useful again? (only practical usecases count, no OCD BS please)

Pickle Rick: for finding tagged items by their parent is the most obvious use-case. Someone below listed a perfect example - say I have tags for Java and JavaScript. Both would be under a Code tag, and come up when searching/clicking on Code.
To get that now I have to apply both tags every time.

Pickle Rick: Too funny

hospitalcorners: Tag searches can be combined. Search for both Java and JavaScript. That's literally half the point of tags.
hospitalcorners
Pickle Rick: I feel like you skipped over my point.
Take Java and JavaScript and then add 10 more tags for various languages.
In many situations I'd much rather just filter for one tag than 12 without having to have put them all in the same folder.

hospitalcorners: How would this work if you wanted the "Java" tag to be included within 3 different search "clusters"? Example: If you wanted cluster titled "Code" to include pulling up everything with a "Java" tag, but also wanted "Work Tools" and "To Study" clusters to include pulling up all bookmarks with "Java" tags?
hospitalcorners
L N: I don't think I'd personally ever want everything tagged for a given code-language to be mutually-inclusively tagged as "work tools" or "to study".
I know that was just an example, but to me, those scenarios feel better managed with folders and/or complementary (but separate) tags.
But, stepping outside of my own bubble, I could see allowing for multiple levels of a tag-hierarchy addressing at least some of that (though, in my head it feels messy).

please also add colored tags, when you have thousands of tags, it is hard to find what I need

I would really love this feature as well. In a flashcard app that I used they sorted tag hierarchies with : so I've been naming my tags Tutorials: Cooking
I've just recently started using raindrop by after moving all my stuff, I've found that I have around 15 tags and counting. I would really appreciate a feature like this

This would be interesting. Someone noted being able to have tags like code/react code/blah and having those come up with a search for tag code. I currently just do something like "#code #code-blah" and "#code #code-react" manually. A bit more annoying but works without this feature implemented.

i would love for this to be implemented without having to pay to use it

I'm using hierarchical tags in Obsidian, and adding this to Raindrop would be a very welcome improvement to streamline my process over both apps.

Just need (subject) "folders" for the tags. It's as simple as that. This is the first thing that came to mind and what I would like to use.

I don't know if this (hierarchical tags) is the best solution exactly under the current mental model that the Raindrop UI presents, but some way to group tags for people with large tag sets would be enormously helpful.
I suspect the idea of a Collection is more amenable to grouping tags than having a tag hierarchy, which creates strict tree-structure ordering. If I think of collections as a coherent conceptual domain, and tags as labels for more specific items, this is what would happen:
- I'd turn some of my tags into collections
- Some tags would only be in one collection
- Some would be in no collection
- Some would be in multiple collections
- 2-4 but for bookmarks
- Collections can already be grouped, so I'd end up having my tags grouped nicely as well
This seems like the best of both worlds - freeform, flat organization (tags) with hierarchical structure (collections). This would also make the tag list much more useful and visually navigable.
Finally, you could probably use tags that appear on the same bookmark to build up a network of tag relationships, and use that to automatically group tags together
I'd end up using tags to label bookmarks, and assume that they'd end up in the appropriate collections without having to organize them each time.

this development is a very good idea
