that name feels counterintuitive. i dont read ‘bookmarks’ from linkblock, i read ‘filter’
My first thought was a new block list for Lemmy or Mastodon admins.
It seems that FOSS developers and the like are terrible at naming projects.
That’s a good point - I havent thought about it that way. I’ve mostly picked that name to have something to work with, I’m open to any suggestions!
FediMarks
That’s a good one! Apparently, postmarks, another fedi bookmark manager, was named FediMarks in the past!
- Link
- Lynk
- Lync
- Linker
- Linkist
- LinkPage
- PageSave
- PageSaver
- PageList
- SavePage
- WebMarks
- Webory (WebMemory)
- Webist
Just some quick ideas. Some may be used already. I didn’t bother checking.
- Netmarks
The current demo is quite limited. I hope they add (nested) tags and meta tags at least.
I’m definitely planning to support nested tags. Do you have an example for an app with a nested tag system you like? Also I’m not sure what you mean by meta tags, could you explain what that means?
https://schema.org/docs/full.html
You could leave tag management to the user, but make opinionated link relationships by using a well documented, widely adopted, open and international web standard.
If further down the line you want to automate tagging, you could use lemmatization on user tags.
I haven’t seen an app that does it really well like some libraries or ontologies do but I’m certainly not well versed with all of them. Back in the day I used Evernote which was at least a start, as you could create arbitrary hierarchies (nest tags within tags).
So ideally you would want to be able to nest tags like this:
news.politics.europe.denmarkof course another person might prefer the hierarchy
politics.elections.news.denmarkThere’s no strict right or wrong here but often over time some consensus forms. Bonus points if there are equivalency classes, ie “recipe”, “recipes”, “cooking recipe”, and even the Spanish versions “receta” and “recetas” all refer to the same thing.
By meta tags I mean the ability to describe and classify certain tag groups. For instance “politics”, “cats” and “Hollywood” are content tags while the tags “English”, “Danish” and “French” are language tags. “PDF”, “MP3” and “HTML” are file format tags but “video”, “music” and “text” are content form tags while “2023”, “2004-04-03” are time-line tags
Meta categories allow you for instance to search for pages that are about the English language, but not necessarily in English and surely not written by people who happen to have the last name ‘English’. Now some systems encode this information inside the string of the tag itself like so: “language = English” or “topic = cats”, but I think the most elegant solution is really to let a tag have categories or tags on its own which describe what it’s used for (thus meta tags).
Thanks for elaborating! I’m going for a flexible way to organize links that should work in a similar way to what you’re describing.
