a
atypicallife
Feature to view all bookmarks saved in the nested collections within the selected collection.
For example:
Primary Collection
-- Nested Collection 1
-- Nested Collection 2
Option 1:
Clicking on "Primary Collection" will show all bookmarks from Primary Collection, Nested Collection 1, and Nested Collection 2.
Option 2:
Link above bookmarks in Primary Collection or in "View" menu may be clicked to show all bookmarks from Primary Collection, Nested Collection 1, and Nested Collection 2.

I'm really looking forward to this feature! It would make Raindrop.io even more useful for both my personal and team projects. Please consider adding it!

Hierarchical Aggregation & Inherited Filtering for Parent Collections
Kuntal_Go
Currently, Raindrop.io collections operate independently, meaning a parent collection does not aggregate or display items contained within its child collections. This limits hierarchical navigation and makes it challenging to gain a consolidated, context-aware view of nested bookmarks.
Proposed Enhancement:
Enable hierarchical aggregation where a parent collection inherits and displays all items (bookmarks) from its child collections. Implement recursive visibility so that navigating to a parent collection provides a top-level, unified view, optionally filtered by properties/tags applied at the parent level.
Technical Details:
Recursive Aggregation: When a parent collection is open, aggregate all items within its child collections and display them alongside direct items of the parent.
Inherited Filtering: Support filtering at the parent level that applies recursively to child collections, enabling users to view items based on tags, types, or metadata across the entire hierarchy.
Configurable Toggle: Allow users to enable or disable this aggregation to suit workflows where independent collections are required.
Query & Indexing: Update the backend query logic so that GET requests for a parent collection can aggregate child items, maintaining performance by leveraging efficient database indexing or caching mechanisms.
UI Representation: In the frontend, clearly distinguish between direct and inherited items (e.g., with subtle icons, badges, or color coding).
Benefits:
Improved Contextual Navigation: Users can seamlessly traverse from broad categories (parent collections) to granular subsets (child collections) without losing sight of content scope.
Filtered Drill-down: Empower advanced users to apply global filters on parent collections, instantly zeroing in on relevant content throughout the hierarchy.
Scalable Organization: Supports workflows for research, PKM, and curation at scale (e.g., academic, professional, or creative projects).
-----
This enhancement will offer greater flexibility in information management, supporting both granular and holistic content perspectives—a valuable upgrade for Raindrop's PKM and research-heavy user base.

I think this is a great idea as well. Some bookmarks fit in multiple collections, and having to choose which collection to put them in is sort of weird.

Please make this the highest priority.. It seems like it's such a simple feature to add and really improves the usability! I think people are struggling to find the named entry of this feature to upvote

It would be great to show this. I mostly save items in the sub-collections and use the collections as the folders (because I use the group for something else). If I click the collection, I don't see any items in its sub-collections, so I have to expand the collection to reveal the sub-collections and then click the sub-collection, which is inconvenient.

i could DESPERATELY use both this feature AND the ability to export a parent folder with all the bookmarks of its subfolders as well (rather than having to go through & export each individual subfolder or all your bookmarks as it is now). please please PLEEEEEASE!!!! 😁

It would be nice to have like an expand all option for folder with in a subfolder. Instead of having to his show all and taking you into that specific folder. If you could stay at the level of the main folder and just expand/open all sub folder so you could scroll through one be list.

Parent Folder shows bookmarks of childs in iOS App

It would be great to be able to see all the bookmarks that are contained within the folder and its subfolders like on the web. On iOS the parent folder is just treated as one individual folder just showing the content of itself but not from the child folders.

Main subfolder show all bookmarks.

At the present, the main hierarchical of bookmarks don't show until clicking a link to expand. Having the sub-folders not showing or kept separate would be nice too. It appears too cluttered to have it all showing in the main pane [right pane] after scrolling.
