Random bookmark
planned
_kud
Pick randomly a bookmark in a collection (or in all your raindrop) and display it to your favourite browser, a bit like https://medium.com/@romanpapush/how-to-get-a-random-pocket-article-64a04d93d787

“Random” option for sorting all items
Interests
I’d love to be able to treat raindrop like a curated media platform in place of Pinterest. To accomplish this, it would be nice to be able to open it and have a feed of all my items that is randomized, allowing me to see a variety of saved items and inspire me while giving me a scrolling dopamine boost with the novelty of the order.

That’s most important feature for me that is missing compared to Pocket app

Related, I'd love to see an option for a periodic email that selects some random links to encourage me to come back and check them out. (Not like setting a reminder on a specific bookmark, but suggestions of random bookmarks.) E.g. an equivalent of this https://mailist.app/ .
Preferably with some user-customizable options e.g.:
- How often: Daily, weekly (choose which day of the week), monthly (choose which day of the month)
- Fully random, or set to only select from a specific collection, and/or set to only select from a specific tag (e.g. one might have a "Read Later" collection and an "Unread" tag, and choose to get links only from those)
- How many: E.g. 1, 5, 10
- Link format, e.g. allow or exclude videos

"Tinder" swipe, but for forgotten links!

I love saving links in Raindrop, but I rarely go back and read them unless I’m searching for something specific.
Would you consider adding a simple “Surprise Me” feature that randomly surfaces saved links? It’d make rediscovery fun and help me actually use the stuff I’ve saved.
Feels like a small change that could make a big difference in daily engagement.
An interface could even be swipe right/left like Tinder:

Shuffle Sorting

Add option to sort bookmarks randomly (i.e. Shuffle mode), instead of just sorting alphabetically and by date.
This would replace the need for a Random bookmark (requested 8 years ago, 200+ upvotes). [https://raindropio.canny.io/feature-requests/p/random-bookmark]

Random notifications

Hi,
I have the following use case:
I keep opening tabs in browser ( desktop or mobile phone). Sometimes I manage to finish the article others I am not. As I did not manage to come up with a system, whatever article seems interesting, I just leave it open in the tab. Every now and then I go through the tabs (re)read/finish some of the articles. I may close the tab or still leave it open.
The problem with this approach is that after a while the number of tabs is so large that it crashes the browser. Upon restart, the tabs are gone.
I discovered so far that I could save the links in raindrop.io . What I would also like to have is a way to setup notifications at random times (not more than x per day/week) which will select a random article and remind me to (re)read it. Ideally not to send the same article until I re-read all the articles. Is this possible? If so could you please let me know how?
Thank you,
Regards
