Categories should just be "Tags" and you should be able to add any tags to an item

Suggesting - Devonthink uses a system that lets me copy something OR create a replicant. the replicant is a copy, but when I do something to the original, the change is ALSO made to the replicant. That way I always am looking at the latest version, even if I have that particular content in 4 or 5 areas. Otherwise it becomes a nightmare to keep everything synced. The advantage is that I can put one bookmark in several folders, and as I change one, the others are change ,automatically. Thatchanged works perfectly for me.

To add to this, I'd want to do backlinking to multiple folders.

User stories to clarify:

Main Ask:

As a bookmark organizer with multiple folders, I want to have the ability to backlink folders within different folders so that I can quickly retrieve the bookmarks within those folders when I am carrying out a specific activity. For example, I want to quickly retrieve 'fitness stores' when I am in my fitness folder, AND I would also like to find this 'fitness stores' folder when I am in the shopping folder.

Broken into simpler stories:

User Story 1:

As a bookmark organizer, I want the ability to create backlinks between folders so that I can easily access related bookmarks in different folders.

User Story 2:

As a user, I want to be able to navigate to a linked folder from within another folder so that I can find and access bookmarks related to my current context.

This allows me to keep one main folder and I can just add to that, instead of having to duplicate bookmarks and spend time double booking the entries, it also improves the ability to find and retrieve those bookmarks when carrying out different tasks.

In this time, I am on the horns of a dilemma cause I want to add my bookmarks into multiple collections without duplicate them.

I'd like that feature as soon as possible =)

August 6, 2023 STILL PLANNED

Sharing is per collection. Sharing is orthogonal to organisation. So I want to organise using collections, but then selectively share bookmarks that may already be sorted into collections. So they need to be in one semantic collection, and possibly multiple shared collections (shared with different audiences).

Depending on how a user uses and organizes their library of links, this use case could potentially be fulfilled by the requested “Smart Collections” feature discussed here: https://raindropio.canny.io/feature-requests/p/smart-collectionsaved-search

anxiously waiting for this feature :)

Excited for this one to be completed! It is currently the most requested feature in the “planned” stage 🤞

Lol this has been planned for quite a while now.

Either this or hierarchical tags.

Based the way I organize things, an item sometimes need to be categorized in not just one category.

Normally that's the concept for tags, but given that most people use collections as the primary way of organizing bookmarks, if they support this then I'm good too.

Especially given that the collections already have nice icons, they might be easier to distinguish visually then using tags.
