skyjake/lagrange Issue #667: Feature request: add "this is a feed" option to the Add Bookmark modal

2024-05-20 00:27:10 adiabatic

I enjoy a feed-centric browsing experience, so I tend to add feeds whenever possible.

However, there's no option to say "this is a feed" right when I add a bookmark. I have to go and find the thing again, right-click on it, and choose "subscribe to feed":


Would it be possible to add a "this is a feed" checkbox to the add-bookmark modal so I can get this set right at bookmark creation?

It would be possible to add that, yes.

May I ask why aren't you using the "Subscribe to Page" action for this, though? It does the same thing, i.e., adds a bookmark and flags it as a subscription.

It might make sense to redesign the UI for bookmarking and subscribing so they use a single unified dialog...

I didn't notice it until now. Seems like the winning play going forward. I got in the habit of mashing ⌘D and…I don't think I've checked the `Bookmarks` menu more than a handful of times.

Now that I'm actually trying it out, the ⇧⌘D dialog doesn't give me a choice of where in my bookmarks hierarchy to put the newly-created bookmark. So now I have to dig out out the link (predictably at the bottom of the page, which…helps), then file it, and then (for my workflow) almost always sort its folder by name.
