add freeform notes field to bookmarks #485

Open lolbinarycat opened 2 years ago

this would simply be an extra field that would show up when pressing "edit bookmarks", with no special purpose, except maybe showing up when listing bookmarks.

would be useful for remembering /why/ you bookmared something.

I recommend using tags for this purpose. You can put free-form text in the tags field, or use some sort of keywords of your own choosing.

The tags that have a special meaning all begin with a dot character, so they shouldn’t get confused with regular text.

Of course, the downside is that if you view the “Bookmarks by Tag” page, the free-form words will be there spamming the list…

personally, i find that solution very ugly, if anything i would just use the "name" field. what if i want to use a word that i use as a tag, but not actually tag the bookmark as that?
