AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around redesigning the bookmark modal, specifically the reminder options. A poll is conducted to gauge the most used timeframes, with options including “Later today”, “Tomorrow”, and “Custom”.

Users have shared their preferences, with some opting for short-term timeframes, such as mcwumbly who prefers “1 hour”, “3 hours”, and “Tomorrow”, and gerhard who uses “Later today” and “Tomorrow”. Others, like Lilly, prefer to review their bookmarks periodically and remove unnecessary ones, using “None needed” and “Later today” reminders.

Some users have also mentioned the need for custom timeframes, with Moin specifying a preference for custom times to avoid early morning notifications. The results of the poll will help inform the redesign of the bookmark modal to better meet users’ needs.

Our current bookmark modal is due for a little redesign.

Among other things being considered, we think the amount of reminder options offered is maybe a bit overkill.

In this topic we’d like to gage what the most used timeframes are.

If custom, I’d be valuable to know which one, feel free to let us know.

Longterm VS shortterm

I’m most interested in using…
  • Short term timeframes (one hour, two hours, tomorrow)

Usually it is because I don’t like to get the notification at 8:00 am. Since the forum is about a hobby, this is not the time I spend most time there. So I would open the notification menu when I don’t have much time and then the notification bubble disappears, so it does not help for the evening.

I usually use later today (mostly when I’m on mobile, as a substitute for “when I’m back on desktop”) or tomorrow when I read something at the end of my day and I want to follow-up the next day. For everything that’s further into the future I usually select a custom date (the time is mostly an annoyance in that case).

i love bookmarks and use often. i only ever use (in order of frequency):

  1. none needed
  2. later today
  3. custom date and time - specific to the bookmark subject

rather than rely on reminders (i find them a bit annoying personally), i just periodically go review my existing bookmarks and remove any that i don’t need or want anymore. i would probably use the reminders more if i had reasons to, like for reminding me of meetings or deadlines related to posts about projects or solutions for example, but i don’t generally have that with my forum, nor on Meta.
