Shaarlier as a browsing client? #20

Open gerroon opened 8 years ago

gerroon commented 8 years ago

Hi

It would be so nice if this app can also browse and list the bookmarks from the server.

thanks

Hi, Indeed It would be a great improvement for the application, I haven't worked on it yet because nobody have requested this feature. But it is on my roadmap ;)

I cannot assure you a date for this feature yet, but I'll work on it in the next months.

I'm curious, too (concerning https://github.com/mro/ShaarliOS). What are the primary usecases you think of? Daily? The list? Search & tags? Having all posts buffered for offline use?

@mro

I think that it would be awesome if the app caches bookmarks(title and description?) for offline use. On top of that it would be awesome if one could search based on tags, title etc

For instance, the wallabag android app caches and syncs the saved articles for offline use. I find it to be super helpful.

mro commented 8 years ago

the mere caching is simple – just cache the (logged in) Atom dump.

But key is what UI/UX to provide.

@dimtion Theres now an API which can be used :) Here are the docs: https://shaarli.github.io/api-documentation/
As I last looked into it most parts seem to be ready for use

dimtion commented 7 years ago

Thanks for the heads up, i will look at that for future versions, it will be much easier I think now ! But indeed, I'll need to be careful with retro-compatibility.

I really like Shaarlier as-is for sharing links, and the web interface provides all the other functionality I need from Shaarli. If Shaarlier would implement browsing links, it should also implement editing previous links as well and also provide a plugin-enhanced experience (related posts, markdown, QR, etc). Otherwise, it would be a half-baked solution.

If @dimtion doesn't have too much time to work on the above, I think the best would be focusing on the core current experience. Enhancements like a markdown toolbar for description, searching for substrings in tags (not only prefixes), etc. would also have a warm welcome from the community :)

immanuelfodor commented 4 years ago

Added #40 and #41 just to make sure :)

Just to add that PinDroid for Pinboard does this really well. I've switched to Shaarly because I prefer self-hosted, but I miss being able to open the app and browse in a much tighter interface than the web client. That being said, an alternative compressed view for mobile on the web client would work just as well.
