Tag is not automatically removed and cannot be removed after all notes with that tag are permanently deleted

Description of the bug
A tag is not automatically removed and cannot be deleted after all notes with that tag are moved to junk and subsequently deleted from junk. While testing the app, I found that the automatically created “intro” tag cannot be removed or modified after permanently deleting the introduction note.

Device, App & Version
Mac desktop and iOS v3.1.4

Steps to reproduce
Permanently delete all notes associated with a tag, and the tag will remain, unable to be removed or modified.

Hi @Sushis, first off welcome to the Supernotes Community! :tada:

It’s possible that the tag still shows up as suggested because it was never removed from the card, but rather just moved to the junk. This means the check to remove the tag was never triggered.

The app will periodically review tags, and update them but if you want it gone entirely, as a final troubleshooting step, could you try logging out and then logging back in? That will pull entirely fresh data from our servers and update the tag list.

Out of interest, why was seeing #intro in the suggested list of tags irritating initially? Once you start sharing cards with others, tags from shared cards will also appear in that suggested list.

Hi @tobias

Thank you for your response. After logging out and logging back in, the tag has disappeared.

It was just something I didn’t use and didn’t want to see it in the list. I’m evaluating the app for personal use only and have no plans to share cards with others. Incidentally, many of the apps I previously used have become more collaboration-focused over time. I understand that business users generate more revenue compared to personal users, but I am seeking an app that values the personal user experience just as highly. What are your thoughts on this?

Hi @Sushis, ironically I would say Supernotes has actually become more personal-focused over time. Supernotes started out as an app to encourage students to collaborate with each other, so collaboration has always been one of our primary goals. However the app has evolved continuously in the years since then, and we have spent a lot of time trying to ensure that the “single-player” experience is made even better by any work we do on the collaboration side of things.

As a more concrete example, we used to have a “single-player mode” that tried to hide some interface elements that were not usually relevant for users then never collaborated with others. However in Supernotes 3.1 we removed this option in favor of just hiding those elements by default for everyone.
