Thanks for the feedback. Zapmarks is definitely more focused on the keyboard than the mouse. If you have a keyword in your head, we want you to be able to type it and go. Tiles would cause you to have to look around to find what you want.

We have thought about maybe having your top 3 most-used Zapmarks appear under the search bar for quick access, but not sure if that's something we will move forward with or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get it. Seems very niche use case. Keyboard requirement in a mobile world. I feel like the browser bar essentially solves for it already except I have to remember the 3-4 characters to get the autocomplete to fill in. But at least I don’t have to configure it either. My idea of tiles is like a phone/tablet where I could order it myself and learn the placement through muscle memory. Scanning by eye is much easier than typing and remembering what keywords I set up. I can hardly remember my passwords.

Anyways not raining on you’re parade. It’s a cool concept just doesn’t fit the use case I’d prefer. Best of luck with it!
