Adding provision for users to add tags for the icons.

[jenil]

Hey Thomas,

I have been using the project for a while now and I think one major problem that the users are facing is finding the right icon. I think we should work on a functionality just that an user an suggest a tag on the website and then you can approve them before they go live. What are your thoughts on this?

Best,
Jenil

I like the idea. It would need to 1) be really easy and low friction to suggest a new tag and 2) stay out of the way of the rest of the interface. Do you have any ideas on what this feature would look like?

A second option is to take a data-driven approach. We could track queries and use that to inform new tags.

I would suggest the first option, but my concern is that can we edit the icons.json file from the website?

Hello!

Great project you have here! Thank you.

It is a huge pain to find right icons in FontAwesome because of naming issues. I though that your project would help, but sadly it's not adding any additional search capabilities. So, I'm looking forward for tags!

Tags are used already, though there's no way for users to add them. Can you give examples of the tags you'd find useful?

[slavafomin]

@thomaspark for example, when I enter «letter» there are no results. Maybe you should add some extensible tag synonyms mechanism as well. The same goes for «view», «read» etc. I think more results is better than less = )

Letting other users add tags is almost a platform in itself, very complex and not necessarily will lead to quality content. If there was a synonym list that could be kept simple though, makes sense.
