Feature Request: Save Button
I would like the ability to save threads or comments, especially if they have links. Something within the platform that would allow me to go back later and watch a linked video or re-read someone's long synopsis would be super useful.
I figured someone else had requested it, just couldn't find it. Cheers!
I'd like to see a fair amount of consideration put into this feature as well. I think if it's positioned right it could lead to longer lasting discussions. Mainly don't just bury it in the users profile like Reddit does.
maybe a 'pin' button?
I find that I use the save feature on reddit, hacker news, kind of like bookmarks. Meaning I save the post and then it gets lost in the ether and eventually I might come back to it (but probably not until I no longer remember why I saved it).
If it was pinned to the top of the page, I'd actually keep my saved posts under control. Most things I save I only want to come back to within a few days anyway. Anything longer than that, I'd bookmark it - though I've already said I use that wrong / accumulate clutter anyway.
The problem with bookmarking is that unless you're using browser sync features, those saved links won't be shared across devices.
