nytimes-ios's Issues

Saving users favorite tags

[Feature Request]
I really love the idea that users can browse articles by tag and they can choose tag by swiping the view at the bottom.
But I think there is an improvement need to be made. Some users might just interested in Space and Science. In that case, the user has to swipe to far-right to click Science and have to swipe far to left again to click the Space tag.

So I think asking users to choose their favourite tag and adding a new view(favoruiteTagView) below the NavigationTitle(NYTimes) which shows their favourite tag would be great. And for some users who might not like newly added view under NavigationTitle, adding one more feature which allows them to show or hide the favoruteTagView would be great

OR you can add an option at settings which allows user can reorder the order of the tag.
