Feature Request: Add Rating System for Bookmarks

Dear LinkAce Team,

First of all, thank you for creating and maintaining such an excellent tool for managing and sharing bookmarks. The application is incredibly user-friendly and fulfills many needs for organizing and sharing links.

I would like to suggest a new feature that could enhance the usability of LinkAce: a rating system for bookmarks. Below are the details and reasons for this request:

Why a Rating System?

1. User-Generated Quality Assessment:
   A rating system allows users to quickly assess the quality or relevance of a bookmark. For shared lists, this would enable viewers to prioritize links based on ratings.

2. Personal Preference Tracking:
   Users could use ratings to mark their preferences, e.g., which links they found most helpful or enjoyable.

3. Community Feedback (for public links):
   If LinkAce is used for sharing public links, visitors could participate in rating, providing valuable feedback on the list’s content.

Proposed Features for the Rating System

1. Rating Scale:

   • A simple 5-star system or a numerical rating (e.g., 1–10).

2. Customizable Scope:

   • Users should have the ability to enable or disable ratings for specific lists or bookmarks.

3. Public and Private Ratings:

   • Allow users to choose whether ratings are only visible to themselves (private) or visible to others when sharing a list (public).

4. Sorting by Rating:

   • Add an option to sort bookmarks by their rating in ascending or descending order.

5. User-Friendly Interface:

   • For simplicity, add a small clickable rating widget (e.g., stars or numbers) next to each bookmark.

6. API Integration:

   • Extend the API to include endpoints for setting, retrieving, and sorting bookmarks based on ratings.

This feature would greatly enhance the organizational capabilities of LinkAce and expand its use cases, particularly for shared lists and public collections.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I’d be happy to provide additional input or discuss the feature further if needed.

Best regards,
Jonas
