It has long been no longer visible on Habré topics to improve the resource, and it can not but rejoice. The ideal, of course, does not exist, but people are getting used to everything, and I am no exception, but ...

There is one BUT that doesn’t suit me, but I think many other habrazhiteli. This is the “Favorites” section in the user profile.

I consider myself to be a type of reading people, I do not write habratopiki and occasionally comment. Habr for me is more like a storehouse of useful information than a service of self-expression or promotion. Therefore, the ordering of useful information is important to me, and not the race for karma.

An asterisk (favorites) serves as a tool to highlight the “right” from the “unnecessary” from the flow of information, and that’s what it’s about below.

Identify the problem. Habr is not the same


I agree, Habr is not the same, the number of posts is constantly growing, for the sake of justice, it is worth noting that the quality of the material has also increased. If earlier I added a post to favorites several times a week, now I add several bookmarks every day.

Sifted out, sifted out, and created your thread in the favorites section. Now I have 118 posts in my favorites, and someone, I think, has a lot more and needs to do something about it!

We come up with a solution

I’ve been using Google’s notebook for a long time to post notes about sites, others use specialized sites for the same needs, it’s not important, it’s important that all these services are combined with convenient tabbed browsing (sorting, grouping, etc.).

Let's move from words to deeds. I will not pretend to originality and quality of performance, but will only present a graphic frame.

1. Determine the importance of blocks and their location.

On the left is the "Favorites" page, on the right is the "Creation of Habratopik" page. As you can see from the image, the right block is more important when creating a topic, so supporting information is placed there, and there is a lot of empty space on the bookmarks page + advertising. No, I'm not against advertising, and the funny dude doesn’t annoy me at all. But still, this unit can be used more intelligently.

2. Create function blocks for working with bookmarks.

Here I will not give a graphic example, the implementation can be any, it can be tags, categories, folders, call it what you like, but give me freedom. The categories in the blogs are of course great, but I myself want to determine what and where to put me.

Let's not forget about the block of recent bookmarks, as there is a tendency to first add to favorites, and to read at home in a relaxed atmosphere.

3. Add to favorites

As you can see, when I click on an asterisk, I can select the label created earlier.

Well, that's basically all I wanted to tell you about, thank you for your attention.
