Favorite Forum Posts
Bumping this previous post Favorite forum posts. It would be incredibly helpful for a multitude of reasons! I reference so many forum posts, often in my own interactions, but your notifications only go back 2 months or so depending on how frequently you get notified.

Hi Nathan, I agree, bookmarks would be nice, now added to the to-do list. (I'm developing the forum software. Thanks for the
@mention, @chrscheuer)helpful for a multitude of reasons
Could you tell me a bit more? :- ) How do you tend to use bookmarks? (I'm thinking people tend to invent their own sometimes a bit unique ways of using bookmarks, ... at least if there are different types of bookmarks. If there's just one type of bookmark, then maybe that's not so possible)
What about Gmail (or your mail client, whichever that is) — do you use stars or bookmarks there, how do you go about doing that, if I can ask?
I added a note about fixing the notifications list too — it's not supposed to end abruptly like that.

I currently do this by keeping a notepad with the forum links and a little description afterwards... for example I just saved this one
Sound feedback from button — SOUND FEEDBACK ON BUTTON PRESS… sound feedback on task complete?
cuz I thought it was cool even though I don't necessarily need it right now. But Folders would be awesome, like every post about memory locations I like stored to one folder for when I inevitably need to head back to those...

Ok, so it's 1) the bookmark link, plus 2) a description or text that says why it's important / what to do?
Why is "SOUND FEEDBACK ..." in uppercase? :- )
And 3) a way to group bookmarks. E.g. folders. I suspect that in Talkyard's case, it's simpler to, as a first step, reuse the tagging system, and implement bookmarks as a special case of content tags. Then you can create your own personal types of bookmarks, e.g. a bookmark named
memory-locations, and add to pages & comments, including a text with details, which maybe could be the "sound feedback on task complete?" text, hmm.Personally I think I'd want a
reply-tobookmark, and aread-laterbookmark, and areferencebookmark (for things I've already read and want to remember).
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2024-02-27 04:23:32.126ZKajMagnus, I'd be happy to catch up with you soon - perhaps on Slack?

Nathan Salefski @nathansalefskiSometimes I think the simpler the solution the easier to use. Currently I am not using bookmarks rather I have a dummy script in SoundFlow with comments and all the different code below. The issue is sometimes it's a comment I want to save, sometime it's the post itself because I saw them do something interesting completely unrelated to my original search. In my opinion the option to favorite something -- a post or comment -- and a brief description as to why you saved it would be more than sufficient in getting you back to where you need to go

Ok, interesting to hear. Bookmarks of post or comments, + brief description (in your case), thanks :- )

Status update: Now slightly started with this (i.e. implementing bookmarks).
(The previous weeks disappeared for various reasons)
