2023-07: Summer Update ☀️

Welcome to our summer update—minimarks 2023-07.

This is an exciting update for us, with valuable improvements, including an upgraded profile view and auto-detection for RSS collections.

Improved Profile View

Until now, making changes to your public profile meant you had to visit the All Collections space, but that's about to change.

You can now create collections, add new bookmarks, and manage existing links and collections right from the profile view.

To view your public profile, click Profile in the user dropdown menu.

When viewing your public profile, adding a new collection will automatically make it public, saving you a step.

We hope you enjoy this new functionality and it helps you get creative with your page.

Auto-detect RSS Feeds

One of our best-kept secrets is the ability to show the latest articles and posts for a given website using RSS.

Today, we're making adding RSS collections to minimarks easier by automatically detecting the RSS feed of the sites you want to follow. That means you will no longer have to know a site's RSS feed URL in order to create an RSS collection.

Bing Search

By popular demand, you can now set Bing as your default search engine.

To do so, go to Settings and select Bing as your preferred search engine. When you're done, click Save.

Conclusion

We hope you enjoy this update. Our next major release will be announced sometime in the fall. Follow us on Twitter to stay in the loop!

2023-02 Starlight: Magnify Your World 💫

Welcome to our latest update—minimarks 2023-02 Starlight.

This update focuses on improvements that will make everyday bookmarking more convenient.

Magnification Effect

This update introduces an all-new icon magnification hover effect, giving users an alternative to the previous opacity hover effect. While magnification is the default hover effect, you can change this in the appearance settings.

Reduce Motion

We added the ability to reduce motion effects and transitions when opening a modal. This option makes everyday functions feel snappier and saves time for power users continually adding new bookmarks.

To change this setting, open the Appearance panel and head to the Navigation tab.

Improvements

  1. Reorganized the Appearance panel.
  2. Improvements to enhance the performance and stability of the app.

New Release Cycle

With this update, we believe minimarks to be a stable, feature-rich app with no known bugs. Because of this, we've decided to change our major release cycle from monthly to quarterly, which means we will release updates every three months.

This new schedule will allow us to thoroughly test our updates and carefully plan and execute future changes. Please note that we will still fix bugs and make minor improvements as needed between releases.

Conclusion

We hope you enjoy this update. To see what we're working on next, check out our roadmap or join the minimarks user group on Facebook.

Optional shortcut: Press and hold Shift and click the collection handlebar.

Open all bookmarks

One of our most requested features is finally here! Daffodil lets you open all bookmarks inside a collection as separate tabs in just one click 🤩

To open all bookmarks in a collection, click the collection handlebar and select Open All.

👉 Please note that for this feature to work correctly, you need to allow minimarks to open pop-ups (multiple tabs at once).
