Describe the feature you'd like

There are times when I'd like to quickly add a bookmark to Karakeep by just appending my Karakeep's URL to the front of the site I'd like to bookmark.

For example:
https://karakeep.example.com/https://thesiteiwanttobookmark.com

Where karakeep.example.com is my instance of Karakeep
Where https://thesiteiwanttobookmark.com is the site or page that I wish to bookmark in Karakeep

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Adding this feature would add a very quick way to get a bookmark into Karakeep

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

Not that I am aware of

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

Hey, I don't really see the benefit of doing this when you can use the browser extension or craft a bookmarklet instead. On top of that, doing mutations in a GET request opens a can of worms with CSRF, etc. I don't think we should support such a feature, but I'll leave it in the icebox for now.

Agreed, seems the browser extension solves this pain point.
