Can linkidex display bookmarks as a grid page of favicons? I find this presentation more dense and using spatial memory helps me get to a bookmark more quickly.
This is a great point. The chrome extension I was using before building Linkidex had a fixed layout, and I was often times able to quickly navigate it without reading what I was clicking on because I had memorized where certain things were.
the first UI I built with Linkidex was a grid instead of rows. I moved to rows because the grid became tedious for users to parse when they began to search or filter and grid elements started shuffling.
Linkidex does not currently get a sites Favicons, and currently doesn't have a way to fix where a given Link is on the page. I have catalogued this feedback thank you.
A naive solution could be to just display the first letter of whatever the user has named the given link. Not as helpful as a favicon, but it will prevent the page from looking broken if a bunch of favicons don't exist.
Lots of options: Opera on android generates a favicon if the domain is less than 6 letters just from the letters. Use of colors (hashed from the name I guess) also goes a long way.
No way to fix ugly favicons though. Name of of domain can still be used as well.
