Showing the tags for a note on mobile

I'm thinking about opening a PR for the tags display on mobile. (There is an existing post but got no reply: Android : improve tag ui/ux)

My idea is to show the tags for a note in the note view on mobile. Currently if you open a note, you need to click the three dots > Tags to see which tags are attached to the note. I'd like something similar to the desktop experience: small tags in the bottom of the screen.

And when I click on them the Tags dialog will show up. Give that the screen real estate is scarce on mobile, we can just show up to X number of tags and add a "and more..." at the end.

I want to make sure the UI design is well discussed before I start implementing it. Let me know what you think

I'm missing this very much, now that I'm making more use of tags.

In mobile, you can pres the three dots menu and open a note's labels. However, that only serves for viewing or altering the labels. If you actually want to navigate them, you have to remember the label, go to the side bar, click labels, search for it and click it.

IMHO that kills the purpose of labels, which should be quick navigation.

The design you propose seems very good. That bar could be scrollable horizontally, for the case when a note has many lables, or their names are long.

I'd change the last button to "Click to edit tags". Or maybe the initial icon could have a "+" next to it which leads to the label editing dialog.

Please make those labels clickable.

Thanks!
