A clever way to get a Twitter follower :) You win!

BTW we use a similar mechanism at websktop.com (online bookmarks manager), when you copy icons:

- if pasted into our app, all bookmark properties are preserved (text/html + "data- " attribute)

- if pasted into web app like Slack, you get a nice HTML-formatted unordered list of URLs with titles (text/html)

- if pasted into text editor, you get a simple bullet-point list (text/plain)

Unfortunately handling other MIME types gets troublesome. Still, you can do a lot of cool stuff with just text/plain & text/html.

Your product is great! Is it possible to make other media uploadable to folders? I.e. I could have a folder with bookmarks, pdf's, videos, etc.

Great to hear, thanks!

We thought about it before but we've de-prioritized it in favor of collaborative-editing features. But I totally understand your use-case. It would be a great addition to our product. Stay tuned! :)
