Feature Request: Share list with other user

[SYPHUNO]

As described it would be awesome if we could share notes with other users on the server, for example share a list with a user and put the notes meant to be shared into said list.

This is a feature missing in usememos/memos and i think it would be great if you could implement it into Hoarder.

I can see this being useful indeed. I like it, will add it to the backlog!

@MohamedBassem How about share single bookmark with a link / ID, so I can reference it in my notes app

[MohamedBassem]

@SYPHUNO I've been thinking a bit more about this. When you say sharing a list, do you mean that the list is collaborative or is it a view only list?

Because if it's collaborative, I have a lot of questions about bookmark ownership in shared lists? For example, can you delete a bookmark that was added by someone else? Can you archive it? Those kind of question.

@MohamedBassem thanks for asking!
I drew up a little sketch, i hope it makes sense like this:

• Owner: Full control over the list, can add and remove users
• Edit: Can edit/remove/add posts
• Add: Can only add posts and maybe also edit posts added by themselves
• Read: Can only read, and see the list
  (Now that i think of it, a dropdown might be better than boxes to check)

When it comes to archiving i'm not sure, maybe archiving a post would be user based, meaning:
If i archive a post it would become invisible in the original list for me, but others i've shared the list with with can still see it and archive it themselves?

[MohamedBassem]

Oh wow, thanks for taking the time and doing the sketch! That makes sense.

hmmm, I would like to keep it simple. So I'm thinking that maybe in shared lists, you don't get to modify the bookmark at all. You can either add a bookmark to that list, or remove it from the list. All other functionalities (e.g favouriting, archiving, deleting, etc) can't be done from the shared list view (they can still be done from the owner's homepage for example). What do you think?

[SYPHUNO]

No worries, i had fun and thought it would maybe portrait my idea better. :)

I totally understand your will to keep things simple, and think keeping feature such as archiving/deleting out of it sounds good.
If i understand your idea right, users can share a list between each other and add/remove bookmarks to this list from their personal homepage?
One thing i would really wish for would be the idea of collaborating in one bookmark or at least being able to edit bookmarks of other users in that list.
Whats your opinion on the collaboration part?

Just wanted to give this a +1 for the request.
We understand that this feature is tricky to implement.
But sharing lists with the family without sharing one account would be so awesome.
would even pay for this feature.

Anyway keep up the good work :)

I just started using Hoarder and the ability to share a list with other users would be huge for me. I would really like to be able to use this for planning an upcoming project with my wife.

It would also be nice if we could share a read-only link to a list with someone that doesn't have an account. For example, I have a wishlist and want to send it to all my family and friends so they can see what I would like for christmas, but I don't want to make an account for each of them just for this function.

@silmarine this is tracked in the public lists issue (#126)

[WirtsLegs]

+1 for this, probably the one blocker keeping me from using Hoarder beyond just playing with it, Need to be able to have shared lists with my wife etc
