Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/1569

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I would like to assign a nickname and be able to edit nicknames for my floccus profiles on Android. Obviously I should not not be able to rename one that would cause a duplicate.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'm using webdav, so my profile names look something like this in the UI:

user@email.com@somesit....

As I have a couple profiles, these repeat. I'd like to be able to give each a nickname, such as "Firefox Work Bookmarks" or "Brave desktop tabs"

This would help me realize what profile to choose to find something.

Even cooler, the name persists with the data, such that changing a nickname in a browser or mobile changes the other upon next sync.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Guesswork by selecting a profile and determining what it is. Bookmarks or tabs? work or desktop or laptop ?

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus and have been maintaining it ever since.
I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one
than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙
