feature: searchable bookmarks for threads and posts
Isn't that something provided by your web browser? :)
no, chrome doesn't allow bookmarking individual posts (see screenshot), unless you open the individual post first (not just the thread!) in a new page and then bookmark that;
However, the resulting browser bookmark for the individual post is not very useful as it'll just contain the link (eg https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/4041 or https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/4041#25172) named after the thread (eg no information on the author of that individual post):
Worse, it's not searchable.
Here's my use case:
in nimforum search, I want to search this query:
bookmarked:true
# search all posts / threads I bookmarked
bookmarked:true "openArray"
# search for "openArray" filtered by all posts / threads I bookmarked
author:bob bookmarked:true "named return value"
# likewise, but filtered by who authored the post
