  • 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 think that with a number of snapshots, it will become difficult to find things again. I know one can add tags to snapshots but it is my understanding that snapshots would still all sit on one big heap. So I would love to be able to sort them into different categories.

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

Ideally, there would be a folder hierarchy and I would be able to drag and drop snapshots in these folders.

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

Tags are the closest but for me they are not a good substitute.

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 -> not a programmer myself, but I would be happy to help test
  • I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
  • I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up -> no, with docker compose it was pretty straight forward

@pirate commented on GitHub (Dec 9, 2022):

We may add nested tags in the future but I don't plan on adding folders separately from tags. There is already another issue open for nested tags, I'll link it to this one later.
