Documentation / Library, tags and boards

The viewer

One item, full size, with everything attached to it — and the keys to move through a library without a mouse.

Click any card to open the viewer: the item filling the window, and a panel beside it with everything attached to it.

The arrows walk the current view, so a search or a tag filter is also a way of choosing what to page through.

The panel#

Everything saves as you leave the field. The chevron at the top collapses the panel to a rail when you want the picture and nothing else.

The tools#

Along the top of the panel:

ToolWhat it does
Annotate this item — tags, a description, or both
Open originalThe page or address it came from, in a new tab
Save offlineFor a bookmark: keep a self-contained copy of the page (needs the extension)
DownloadThe file itself, to your computer
Delete offline copyRemove the saved copy, keep the bookmark
DeleteRemove the item, permanently

Videos#

A video plays in the viewer with normal controls. The camera button captures the frame on screen as a new image in the same project — the way to take a still out of something you saved.

Bookmarks#

A bookmark shows its preview image, its favicon and its title. If the page has been saved offline, the badge on the card is green and the copy opens from the viewer; if not, the badge is red and Save offline is the way to fix that.

Saving offline runs through the extension, because a self-contained copy has to be made from the page as your browser sees it — signed in, with its fonts and images loaded. So the button asks for the extension if it cannot find it. A page saved this way is rendered without scripts, so it cannot phone home or run anything.
