My creatively named Bookmark Links plugin for WordPress is now available for beta use.
This is an enhancement of the Links feature in WordPress, which has been disabled by default for a decade now. The database table for this still remains, though I’ve extended it with a separate metadata table, which uses the WordPress metadata API.
The fun of this project was trying to add all of the features to the Links feature that WordPress might have added if they’d continued the feature. So, all the enhancements made to comments, posts, etc. That means an improved interface(the admin list didn’t even have pagination), as well as a REST API endpoint, and more.
I’ve hooked it up to an Android app, which allows me to share URLs to it via the REST API and save them.
The original feature was designed as a blogroll…this is designed as a bookmark store. It has a built-in read later indicator, and various other pieces of metadata. I also added an import and export option just to cover myself.
For sharing with others, in the admin, there is an option to publish a single post as a bookmark post or multiple bookmarks in list form as a post.
There is a lot more I would like to do with it, but I’d love to see people using and suggesting input.
