General question or discussion
Propose a brand new feature
Request modification of existing behavior or design

What is the problem that your feature request solves

When adding new URLs, the input field for tags is a plain text field. I sometimes end up writing a tag name slightly different to one that I have used previously, thereby creating two tags for the same meaning.

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

Ideally, the text field would be replaced with a combo box that suggests/autocompletes existing tags, while still allowing creating new ones.
Examples: https://github.com/yairEO/tagify or https://mui.com/material-ui/react-select/#chip

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

Keep a second tab open with the list of tags. For every tag I'm not sure about, CTRL+F the list.

How badly do you want this new feature?

It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
It would be nice to have eventually

I'm willing to contribute dev time / money to fix this issue
I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up

@pirate commented on GitHub (Jun 11, 2024):

I think we can do this with the same built-in django autocomplete field that it uses in the Admin UI
