Warn when adding duplicate

jLouis Francis IV

Warn users when adding a duplicate bookmark. This would show them where that link already exists, saving time from duplicate cleanup later on.

definitely on this one

Is this available already in the iOS app? Also, I thought it wasn’t possible to add duplicates as there is still an active feature request currently active to add a bookmark to 2 or more collections at the same time…

This is very important because it prevents user from adding unnecessary duplicate bookmarks. Many times we by mistake add duplicate bookmarks.

This supported in browser extension. You need this feature on web/desktop too?

Rustem Mussabekov: I was thinking that might be ideal - I end up adding a lot of my links manually in different folders so it's rather easy to end up with duplicates. How it's implemented in the extension is great, I was thinking that for web/desktop it could show you all the locations where that bookmark is duplicated, then give you the option to add regardless or perform a duplicate merge right there

Rustem Mussabekov: For Android

Zach Laster

Rustem Mussabekov: I'd particularly wish for it in the Android app.

Rustem Mussabekov: I think it should be viewable at a glance.

The extension icon should show the page is bookmarked when you visit it. That would be huge.

Rustem Mussabekov: Before creating a new feature request, I would like to ask what you think about this feature: I would like to have quite an opposite - to be able to create duplicate links in various collections, but ideally without creating copies of the link. I mean, the link would exist in a single instance only, but it would appear in various collections into which I have assigned it to. So when I edit such link, I always edit the single instance of it, no matter in what collection I'm editing it. When I remove it, it disappears from all collections. When I unassign it from a collection, it disappears just from that collection.

I'm aware that it may be quite a lot of work to implement and it may be complex, but it would greatly improve the UX. What do you think, please?
