Module features and usage

Tagify is a popular JS library, so this module is a
Drupal integration for that

Features in the module include deactivating labels when
the field’s max number of entries has been reached, allowing
the creation of new tags when the field has been configured
to allow that, and so on

Will automatically disallow duplicate tags

Includes a User List submodule specifically for user
reference fields, which also shows the user’s profile pic in
the tag

Project page has animated GIFs that demonstrate how many
of these features work

A module I started using on my own blog, nice and simple
UX. I could see the drag to sort be really useful, for
example if you wanted the first term reference to be used in
a pathauto pattern
