Both #3938 and #6764 have attempted to chip away at this feature request by
hard-coding a user agent indication (hashtag or otherwise) as part of the
note’s actual body text. This gets the job done, though it’s a bit of a
band-aid. When another mapper later encounters the note, they’ll see the
tagline only in English. Even if we localize this string, it’s still only going
to be in the notetaker’s language, not the reviewer’s language. If we add a
filter by user agent, then it would need to parse the taglines out of the
comment body.
On the other end of the spectrum, #5904 for #5294 proposes to add a flexible
system of version-controlled note tags. This is much more complex than the
basic task of knowing how the note was created. A note’s user agent string
should be immutable; I don’t think a note reviewer would ever need to edit it
for any reason.
Is there a possible middle ground of storing just the user-agent string
alongside each note? If so, then could the website backend automatically record
the User-Agent header of the request that posts the note and return that as an
additional field in the /notes/#id response? If and when we later introduce a
full-fledged tagging system for notes, we could upgrade this user agent field
to a tag, or we could leave it separate since it’s immutable.
