Pinned feature? #34

Open rasocbo opened 3 years ago

Implemented in design but doesn't do anything.

Not even sure what it's supposed to do...

Acts as a bookmark to save posts for later consumption or revisit past content that a user might find worthwhile. It is similar to Reddit’s Save or Stack Overflow's Bookmark. This might seem like an unnecessary feature when upvoting posts already archives them but wading through hundreds of posts to find something specific from the past is too much work.

Ah, makes sense now. However I think a "star" or a "bookmark" icon would be much better for it, no?

Also in the designs it was used with the ad post, which does kinda makes sense - to pin the ad to the top. And generally a pinning feature is actually pretty common too among various sites. So while the concept of pinning is something I do wish to have, but in this particular platform I couldn't exactly figure out how would that happen. Like, who would be the one to actually pin a post? In a reddit community it's the mods, or here on Github it's the owner/member. Who'd be the one to pin in our platform? For ads it's obvious enough though - it'll be the me/admin, so I think I'll keep it just for that for now.

In the meanwhile though, I think a separate bookmark/star should also be added.

Both are low priority for now though.
