I'm all for keeping it tag based with special behaviors for certain tags like "toread", "starred", "archive", or whatever.

@letters It would be nice to have a browser extension. The bookmarklet works but is obviously limited in what it can do.

@Mtt Cool. I think tag-based makes a lot of sense, so it might be just some UI icing on the cake like one-click "I read this" to apply special tags.

@mph Good point about "to blog". That is the kind of workflow that Micro.blog would be good at.

@Mtt @mph @letters I love this idea. Kind of like sorting books to shelves. The tag based with a quick click UI sounds fab.

@manton @mph I second all of that.

special tags sounds like a great solution.

May I request an additional one? Pinboard has the ability to mark bookmarks as “private”. Private meaning that the bookmarks won’t be displayed on your public profile.

Would it be possible for a similar feature to make it into micro.blog? For example, I would like to add a page with all my bookmarks. But I want to be able to hide some of them from my public listing.

discovered in latest macOS app; selecting “All Tags” in bookmarks list kicks me over to Micro.blog website rather than unfiltering tags and keeping me in the app. By design?

@jimmitchell Yes, this is by design to show all the tag names (not filter the bookmarks), because there's not currently a screen in the Mac version to do that. There should be, though... I plan to move it into the app in a future version.

That would be helpful. Also, any chance that you can tag the bookmark via API? :)

@rom Just updated the bookmarks API help page to document an API call for setting tags on a bookmark that has already been saved. Still need to update the Micropub API to also support this.

thanks thanks

when I post a new bookmark - Shortcut's Get Content of URL does not return anything (Show Contents of URL shows blank), unlike when posting a usual blog post.

@rom Thanks, I’ll look into that. For now you could request the recent bookmarks as JSON after posting to get more data.

thanks thanks - thinking of doing just that after I saw the API doc. :)

I'm guessing maybe you saw my earlier comment about this, but count me as a +1 for some kind of read / unread solution. Very open to emojis and special tags!

Many voiced their take. Mine falls in the majority for using special tags (toread / toprocess, archived, etc.)
