I am managing a knowlege base related to my subjects and multiple projects. In such cases, we can use tags for filter out project + context specific resources. But what if I want to share the set of articles, as a curated list? I must create a collection first.

That way, my original collection structure will be affected. For example, I may use collections as a way to sort if I had processed/ reviewed the piece of resource.

I think this can tackled by A) allowing sharing search results instantly as a curated list and B) allowing saving search results as a 'smart collection' which can be renamed shared. The latter shall be a more all-rounded solution. On implementation, that should be an UI update for https://app.raindrop.io/my/0/[search results], and view-model/ model update on https://raindrop.io/[username]/[public_page_id]

(I hope my guess was right!)

I agree! This would be great

Congratulations! i really like raindrop.io

this development is a very good idea

I hope it works soon

I felt the need in this once I wanted to mark some of my existing bookmarks (from a custom collection) as Read Later, and more recently, when I wanted to share that collection to collaborate on it, but also wanted to have some personal marks for it too.

I understand that current architecture might be in the way since it greatly changes the logic, but I think ways to privately mark a public collection would be quite useful. Even storing a bookmark as a duplicate in another collection (on save or edit) would be very helpful, but probably still won't fill some of the usecases (unless duplicated entries can somehow collapse to single one when browsing or searching).

Another logic idea would be to make not just an independent copy of a bookmark, but a parent-child relationship, when the original bookmark is a parent, and the bookmark copy is a child belonging to another collection, which inherits all of the parent bookmark properties like tags, and also allows to add new (private) properties. The inherited properties should be locked from edits, and sync tags from the parent in real time, but there also should be an (irreversible) option to "untie" the two and edit both independently. This way will allow to collaborate on a collection, while taking some of the bookmarks for personal management without having dupe entries or old tag sets.

On another thought, maybe the current architecture could allow collections to also store not just bookmarks, but links to the existing bookmarks (editing a bookmark should reflect on both collections). Ths could be really useful to mark something in another collection as Read Later (was surprised it's not possible yet, or I just didn't figure out how).

I am also looking for this feature. I have my personal collections and some other collaborative collections and some bookmarks need to be in both. I believe the concept of collection needs to be improved. Is a collection merely a folder?

Tags are pretty useless for this. They're only useful for searching for something. They'd be a lot more useful if there was a sorting option BY TAGS inside a collection, or if it was possible to share an auto-generated collection from a tag.

I just want to add another vote here and am attaching a screenshot showing why tags are the solution for some use cases. I believe that anyone who reviews the screenshot will agree that tags do not address these types of use cases.

Thanks!

Actually, shouldn't tags be used for that purpose? Just a suggestion.

It would be good to have this feature as I am trying to put together a reading list for public sharing but found that bookmarks cannot be added since they are already stored in another collection.

Alternately, could it just be possible to pin tags in the sidebar like collections so they are easy to get to? My bookmarks are primarily organized with tags so can have them in multiple places but it takes to steps to get to them.
