Saving to Memex manually by just saving the URL

⭐️Feature Requests
#1

Save pages by manually pasting link similar to pocket (attached img below) and preferably giving a title to the URL.
Would be useful in cases where extension cannot save certain pages.

manually by just saving the URL

Is fetching page data when a URL is given manually out of scope or do you suggest saving only URL?

#3

Not necessarily out of scope. But to understand the difference between the request you posted before with the button to index either title or URL, I think it would be good to understand in which cases you’d like to index a url on demand?
In which situations can’t you just visit it and then have it indexed?

#5

Ok, so would the following features solve it?

  1. Being able to manually add a url + title
  2. Being able to modify the title of an entry
#6

That would solve it.

@BlackForestBoi I think this feature request has to do with two completely different points:

  • one thing is: have Memex index only the pages/URLs that are given to it by the user, which will boil down to keeping the automatic indexing turned off; I tried to do that, but while “off”, Memex cannot index/ingest anything (not even annotations)

  • another thing is about the editability of the ingested/indexed URLs and their titles

Thoughts?
