Feature request: API for adding / deleting / editing postmark entries

Open andypiper opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I'd love to be able to programmatically add new entries from third party / external code.

For instance, I have a concept for an app that goes like this:

  • I can bookmark a post on Mastodon
  • app reads my bookmarks via the Mastodon API, checks for and extracts any links from those posts, and adds those link to my postmarks.
    • note that I'm not looking to directly replicate the Mastodon bookmarks experience so I don't want to bookmark the Mastodon post(s), I want to bookmark things that the post might contain
    • optionally, add any hashtags from the bookmarked toot, as tags on the postmark entry
    • optionally, mark the postmark with a #readlater tag

It may also be interesting to do the same thing with any posts that get liked on Mastodon, or (for example) posts I've saved on Lemmy, etc.

oops, got hasty with my labels yesterday. I would love for this to happen for sure-- feels like a good major focus once we get past the initial/urgent work of ActivityPub compliance + privacy considerations.
