100% agree on the bookmark part, but i like being able to search through my likes kinda like my browser history. may be related to my memory issues and not a thing for everyone, but being able to load and CTRL+F them would be awesome. that being said, bookmarks are much more important imo

i would LOVE some sort of on-site bookmarking separate from likes. hell

do you get a notification if a private page shares your post? if not, it might be worth encouraging liberal use of a private page as a way of saving a separate list of bookmarked posts; once the ability to search your own page by tag is fully implemented, I could just have a page that's like @avril-secret-posts-i-want-2-save that functions as a robust bookmarks page

Add me to the PWA users gang

likes serving as read receipts and general approvals of content vs bookmarks being something to look back on makes sense, and while offloading it to the browser is nice it does break flow since you'd open a new tab or navigate to it then bookmark it there then come back (and if you had done a 'load more' on your home page now you need to reload it since it's showing only the posts from before you hit 'load more')

there's also the problem of empty shares having a title tag that does not contain content from the post, so searching bookmarks later if you've bookmarked an empty share is not ideal

that said, i do like the posts liked page, and i expect i can use some other pages i don't normally like from to be stingy with likes to use it like bookmarks

i love likes because:

1. i don't enjoy rechosting without saying anything, so liking is my way to tell op that i've enjoyed their post
2. i love looking back to all the stuff i liked, for laughs

that's how i operate on every social media that has likes/likes pages. but i would also really like a separate on-site bookmarker because i, sometimes, feel the need to save something for later referencing without being burried with likes on my likes page. using my browser's bookmarks is an option, of course, but i dunno... it's not practical to me. same with creating a new page and rechosting stuff or rechosting to save on drafts

but hey, i'm happy with or without bookmarks

for what it's worth, i find your profligate post-liking extremely comforting. i like having a little "colin read this post and maybe smiled" badge pop up in my TL

I have my hands on an average of five different devices per day with different OSs/browsers so I like it when things like bookmarks are tied to the account itself (but I do have to acknowledge I am not the Median User)

i think having two tiers of listable likes and bookmarks is hella useful.

the list of liked posts is great for going back and finding that great thing you saw the other day that stuck with you

bookmarks are good for a quiver of todos, references, check-up-ons, and all-timers

i use both on twitter and i think they are distinctly useful even outside of there. the fact that likes are public on twitter but not on cohost is not relevant i think: if you offer tiered favorites people will use them and like them and come to rely on them, and i'm a fan of the concept in general

My solution to the bookmarking thing has been to simply create another page for that dedicated purpose. The advantages are it lets me share it with others as a resource as well (and if you don't want that to be possible you can just make it a locked page), and I'm very pleased with the pun I came up with in naming it @resauces.

I use Obsidian for pretty much everything including web bookmarks in general. What’s a PWA, though?
