Excellent, excellent addition. This is so useful. For people who haven't tried another way: turns out nested folders inside more nested folders is a terrible way to organize your bookmarks!

I've been using the xBrowserSync extension to handle bookmarking across browsers; it also uses tags / descriptions + search for organization and recall. Its made a huge difference. But Nyxt now takes things even further; locally saving a copy of the page you're annotating. Great job!

Depends on the person I think. My mind is intuitively comfortable with graph/tree structures. Despite having used Gmail since beta, I was never successful in leveraging the label/tag+search structure into something manageable. It was always chaos despite recurring attempts to tame it.

Having switched to self-hosted IMAP with the traditional directory approach, I feel in control of my e-mail for the first time in over a decade.

Similar experience with bookmarks.

Great that you found something that works for you but I think it's a mistake to believe it's possible or desirable to have one structure for everyone.

Had similar thoughts in this thread, where so many were arguing if "users love settings" or "users hate settings", and which settings are loved or hated. Stop assuming you can reduce every human into a single profile.
