I am curious if your opinion changes if we actually change Frontpage and Personal Blog to be literally treated as tags in the architecture?
Over the past two years we’ve made a few one-of boolean fields in the posts database, and each time I thought “man, this should really be handled formally by a tag architecture, but making a tag architecture is a bunch of upfront cost we’re not ready to do yet.” With the recent tag overhaul we’d been talking about migrating Frontpage Status to a tag, but we had already built some infrastructure that handled it as a database-boolean, and hadn’t gotten around to it yet. (But meanwhile we started tweaking the UI to reflect that goal)
Obviously there’d be some important distinction between admin-only tags vs general use tags, and maybe the UI could more explicitly reflect that in some way. Curious if that all still feels wrong to you?
Thanks for letting us know!
