Thanks! It took me a while to digest how that tagging workflow worked with the hotkeys, but now I get it. That does work! I think one of the things that tripped me up was the lack of visual feedback on the second press of a key.

Am I right in thinking that the hotkeys don't work while the video is paused?

I guess the other thing I'd love to see is a more dedicated 'share' mode so that you can create a link with a simplified screen that starts playing the track section of a video when the user presses play.

Great, glad this worked well for you. I agree with your point on the visual feedback. Depending on which tab you have active, it will always show the newly created tag on the list when created. However, maybe a short-lived toast message could work better here.

You're correct, the hotkeys won't create a tag when the video is paused, instead it will start playing the video on first press then you'd need to press it again to actually creat the tag. If you want to manually create tags without playing the video then this can be done on the tracks interface. The "+" button in each track will display the modal to do so.

With simplified sharing, would you expect to show only the video without any of the tags and tracks on display? There are existing layout options you can customise such as hiding the tag/track listing and the tagging controls, even resizing the video. However, the play button just plays the video as normal. I think what you're suggesting with the play button only playing the tracks when shared in "simplified mode" would provide a cleaner interface to the end user without the additional components displayed.

Thanks again for the feedback, if you do have any other ideas and this post gets locked for commenting after two weeks, then please don't hesitate to create an issue or drop me an email as listed here: https://tagx.io/support/general/contact

Thanks! And yes, with simplified sharing it would be ideal to only have the player with just the track targeted and nothing for the person receiving the link to guess. So if you send someone a sports highlight, or a specific sketch from a comedy show, or a specific exercise explained in a tutorial, they only need to press play and it would only play the track, not the whole video.

Your app definitely has a lot of utility.

Great, I think this is something I'd like to bake into the next release.
