Hello John Firstly thank you for your work on GMarks. I've used a variety of bookmarking systems over the years and found yours to be the best so far. There are lots of good things about it but the two standout features for me are having a reliable server-based repository and nested tags. I've used 3 or 4 systems that synchronize bookmarks, and although good sooner or later get it wrong, and hey presto two copies of your bookmarks. They always struggle in particular with deletions. So having the server repository is fantastic. I don't particularly care if it is Google bookmarks or not but Google does have the advantage that it's free, reliable and accessible from browsers without the extension. The nesting feature is the one I've always wanted, so it was a real pleasure to discover that at last someone has done it. Flat tags are great but quite limiting when one has a lot of bookmarks. Being able to assign a bookmark to multiple hierarchies is just so good.
Contributing to Firefox seems like a great idea, certainly if Firefox could do natively what GMarks can do it would be both more convenient and a valuable enhancement to the browser - point of distinction in fact - however if that doesn't work out, please continue! Outside of the two main features I am easy to please, but if you are looking for suggestions then things that assist with managing bookmarks would be appreciated. Once you get above a certain number management becomes important. Ideas that spring to mind are: - Validation - troll through bookmarks and test they still work. Auto- tag broken ones with "Broken link" for later checking - Check for duplicates - similarly auto-tag with "Duplicate" - Favicon update - process to troll through and look for favicons when not already present - An option for sorting by usage count - would be handy for rapid access and highlighting old ones that need checking Processes for maintaining bookmarks like this are I think green fields for development, i.e. I don't think anyone else has done it yet.
