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.

Rustem Mussabekov Was this done only for desktop/browser? I don’t see this behavior on iOS , specifically on iPad

Rustem Mussabekov could you please confirm the API would be updated as well? and retrieving the primary collection raindrop would retrieve all the bookmarks within as well? Could you please share planned go live date. Thanks

Love what I'm seeing for this in the beta app ( only just signed up to PRO - primary for this feature ).
A good addition - one that I'm looking for, is when sharing the parent collection - the read-only shared page contains all the children - which doesn't seem to be available currently.
Savan Vyas
Mark Derricutt: yes same sharing parent collection is the feature I am looking for Rustem Mussabekov could you please confirm planned release date for it thanks
Mark Derricutt
Savan Vyas: I look forward to it - am hoping to be able to use it as shared show notes for a podcast. For my use case I'm probably more wanting "grouping" than sub-collections per-sae, but I'm liking the look of how this may be shaping up.

Thanks for the addition although I must say I'd like to be able to view all items in all nested collections in a single view where I can sort on all of them (instead of having to sort each subcollection individually).

Please help us in Beta test of this feature: https://beta.raindrop.io
Nested collections now showed right away. No more need to travers all the way down a collections tree

Rustem Mussabekov: Looks great! I love how you were able to preserve separate view settings for each nested collection. Also as a side bonus, the beta interface feels even more responsive and fast on the new Safari 14 **Edit - just realized you had a separate feature marked for the performance increase 😀
David Mackey
Rustem Mussabekov: Looks good! I'd like an option to not have the directories separated out, just all the links in a list w/out any reference to the sub-folders they exist in.
Dan Peterson
Rustem Mussabekov: overall this is looking really good. There are two things that jumped out at me right away though.
- The "More..." button was not at all clear to me that it would navigate me to that sub-collection rather than expanding in place. I had expected it to expand in place based on that button. I would suggest maybe either allowing it to expand in place, or at least changing the text of the button to something like "View all in _nested_collection_name..."
- Searching while in a parent collection still says "Nothing found in _collection_name_" even though I just saw that the item was in there (albeit in a nested collection). That feels pretty confusing.
Rustem Mussabekov
Dan Peterson: Thanks! Good points. Both of this issues now resolved.
Especially searching, now when you search in collection, results from nested collections will be showed too! Could you please try?
Dan Peterson
Rustem Mussabekov: Nice! The search is a big improvement, the "Show All" I'd say is better than More... but still not quite clear to me. It is better though. I'd personally prefer it to expand in place, or if not, to use the longer "View all in _nested_collection_name..." label on the button, but I can understand why you might not want something so long there. Thanks for the quick response :)

Rustem Mussabekov: Can there be a way to only show that there are nested folders (and not the bookmarks inside those folders)?
I feel like adopting the typical desktop file management style is the most intuitive way to go (or at least give an option for). At every level you see the files (in this case bookmarks) at that level and any folders (but not their contents).
Ideally for me there'd be an interface like finder/other file managers where you can see multiple levels at the same time. I think it's a huge waste of space to have each bookmark take up an entire line as the title + image generally needs very little space.
Savan Vyas
Rustem Mussabekov: Great work there, I just signed up for pro and realised I can't share primary collection with link. Glad that I can see it in beta but could you please suggest when will this be released. There is a planned project I am thinking of releasing but it heavily depends on that feature. thanks great app

Display Folders on the main screen

On the mane screen display only urls but when u have folders in folders it displays nothing till you reach the last folder with urls. It's better to add folders and make them possible to be clicked and carry us to the next folder or urls.

FOCUS VIEW: allow to “view only the SELECTED folder and its contents & hide other upper level folders. Essentially it’s a switch between “TREE STRUCTURED FOLDER VIEW” to “SELECTED FOLDER ONLY” view.

It doesn't matter if a bookmarking tool has nested folders, if we only have "TREE STRUCTURE FOLDER" view, then we will end up with a mess once we have dozens of nested folders. Currently if you want to see a nested folder two levels down, you need to see everything else, all the other folders outside of it.
We need an OPTION to switch from "TREE STRUCTURE VIEW" to a "FOCUSED VIEW". It means that we only see the selected folder and its contents - with a “GO ONE LEVEL UP ARROW“.
Like in any computer's browser: they all allow tree structure view OR "focused" view.
Tree structure view is ok if you have 3-4 main folders, and each has 1-2 nested folders. But creative projects and modern life are way more complex than that.
What nobody realises, that the lack of this simple concept is among the main reasons why all bookmarking tools end up as a mess - EVEN if you have nested folders.
But we don't need to reinvent the wheel, just use the good old methods, and allow both tree-structure view and focused view.
