Feature Request: description/notes per entry?

[adamwolf]

Type

• General question or discussion
• Propose a brand new feature
• Request modification of existing behavior or design

What is the problem that your feature request solves

I need to remember why I added something :)

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

What are your thoughts on adding a description or notes field? Is this something you are really opposed to? Is this something other people are asking for? If I were to add it, would it be reasonable to add now vs after some changes in-flight?

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

How badly do you want this new feature?

• It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
• It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
• It would be nice to have eventually

---

• I'm willing to contribute dev time / money to fix this issue
• I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
• I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up

I would not be opposed to adding it but I don't know how it's going to fit, we don't have much new column space available in the list views.

In general you may prefer a different tool like Archivy if you want more notes-centric archiving.

Yeah, I get the spacing thing. Hmm. I'd personally be OK if it was only in the detail view. I'm currently abusing tags for this (and probably could keep doing that forever).

If you want to add a field and make it visible in the detail view only to start that's fine by me. We can figure out a way to squeeze in in the list views / elsewhere later.

Wanted something similar, but at the archivebox add time (I have different 'sources', so would like to tag with a source). Is there something like that? From a quick look at the code looks that tags aren't exposed to the CLI, only in the web interface and some specific link extractors?

Yeah an archivebox add --tag=tag1,tag2,tag3 option is a great idea. I just added it to v0.6, as well as a form to the add page to add tags with URLs:
