Describe the feature you'd like

Currently, to favorite a bookmark, users must click the three-dot menu and select "Favorite" or "Un-Favorite." Upon favoriting, a star emoji appears on the card. This process could be improved by displaying a star emoji outline directly on each bookmark card. The star would be gray by default, and when clicked, it would light up in gold, indicating that the bookmark is favorited. Clicking it again would un-favorite the bookmark. The existing options in the three-dot context menu can remain as an alternative.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

This enhancement would make the favoriting process more intuitive and streamlined, especially for users who heavily utilize the favorite feature. It saves time by reducing the number of steps needed to favorite a bookmark, leading to faster and more satisfying interactions. This change also provides a visual cue for the state of each bookmark, making it easier for users to see which items are already favorited without additional clicks.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes. Favoriting can currently be done through the three-dot menu, but the suggested improvement allows for a more efficient and user-friendly way to perform this common action.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
