Pinned tile titles are not descriptive about specific page content #1997

Open mcomella opened 5 years ago

I have two user stories (see screenshot at the bottom for an example):

I'm a baseball fan so I pin two google search results, one for each of my favorite teams, which features their most recent game scores. However, the tiles display "google" and "google" with nearly identical page layouts: which tile is for which team? 🤔

I'm a drama fan so I pin the YouTube video of the next episode of the drama I need to watch. I do this for several dramas but the tiles display, "youtube", "youtube", ... Which tile is for which drama? What if I like to pin other videos for other reasons?

See the example of what these tiles might look like: Screenshot_1553728984

We're inspired by the desktop Firefox top sites design but, unlike desktop, our tiles are not algorithmically generated most-visited sites (which selects only one page per domain). Our pinned sites are user defined and they substitute for bookmarks so I think we need to make them more descriptive.

It's hard to anticipate all the user use cases so ideally we can make it descriptive enough to match most users' needs.

A suggestion for this issue, make it so pinned tiles can have customizable titles. To make it further customizable, maybe even allow custom images for the tiles.

That's #1531.
