What's new in Linkbucket

Invitations wait while a folder is in the trash

Sep 9

If someone trashes a folder they invited you to, the invitation leaves your list until they restore it, instead of letting you join a folder you cannot see.

Import reports count a link that could not be placed

Sep 9

If a link from an import could be fetched but not placed in your bucket, the report now lists it among the links that did not come in, with the counts corrected.

Pages served as XHTML are web pages too

Sep 9

A link whose page arrives as XHTML now gets its title, description and searchable text when you save it, and your personal backup copy of the page, like any other web page.

Home sections show your newest links first

Sep 9

Each section on your Home page now shows its newest matching links first, the same order as your Links page sorted by newest.

The tag list closes after each pick

Sep 9

When you pick a tag, the suggestion list now closes instead of staying open over the form; start typing the next tag and it opens again.

The Pulse's week starts at midnight, Oslo time

Sep 8

Your weekly Pulse now counts from Monday midnight Central European time instead of UTC, so a link you save just after midnight lands in the week it belongs to.

Bot walls are not dark links

Sep 8

Your Pulse no longer counts a page that only blocked our checker as one that went dark. In search, status:down finds the links that are down, bot walls aside.

The Pulse's links open what they count

Sep 8

Your weekly Pulse's links now open your own links for that week, and its dark-link line opens the links that went dark in that week; only real backup copies count as backed up.

A clearer import report

Sep 8

The links an import did not bring in are now listed under their reasons, each with its title and full address, in the order your file had them.

Stop an import

Sep 7

While an import is running you can stop it from its page; what was already read stays in your bucket, and the report shows where you stopped.

Browser bookmark folders come along

Sep 7

A bookmark file exported from Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge now lands each link in a folder named after the folder it sat in, with nested folders joined into one name; the browser's own top-level containers, such as the bookmarks bar, go to My links.

Raindrop CSV collections become folders

Sep 7

A Raindrop.io CSV export now lands each link in a folder named after its collection, as the JSON export already did; links in Raindrop's Unsorted inbox go to My links.

Any file with links in it imports

Sep 7

If we do not recognise your export's format, the import now reads the file as a plain list of links instead of stopping, so a pasted list or an unfamiliar export still comes in.

A new import page

Sep 7

Drop your export file on the new import page and watch your links come in: it recognises Pocket, Raindrop.io, Pinboard, browser and Linkbucket files on its own, tells you what it finds as it goes, and ends with what came in and what did not, in plain words.

Search fits your phone

Sep 6

On a phone, the search box now stretches to the Search button and Close search moves to its own row, so you can read what you type.

Folders fit your phone

Sep 6

On a phone, the buttons above your folders no longer break across two lines, and long folder names fit their tiles.

Invitations live with your folders

Sep 6

The folder invitations page now wears the same header as the rest of the app, with a back button to your folders, and on a phone it has the bottom navigation like the other pages.

The menu on every page of your phone

Sep 6

On a phone, the settings, import, export, changelog and extension pages now show the Menu button in their header, so your account menu is always one tap away.

Home is one tap away on your phone

Sep 6

The bottom navigation on your phone now has a Home tab and shows across the app once you are set up, so Home, Links, Tags and Folders are a tap away.

Your initial on every page

Sep 5

The settings, extension, import, export and changelog pages now show your initial in the top right, the same disc as the rest of the app, in place of the old illustration.

The week count stands on its own

Sep 5

The +N this week on your home page now counts the same links as the Added this week section below it and no longer opens the pulse, which lives behind the header button; and a quiet pulse now says it is about last week.

Your name and plan sit at the top of the menu

Sep 4

The account menu now opens with your name and your plan under it: the trial countdown with the Subscribe link while you try Linkbucket, or the Billing link once you subscribe.

The menu is sorted into groups

Sep 4

The account menu now sorts its items into Account, Save from anywhere and Library, and opens with your own initial at the top.

The pulse counts your links live

Sep 4

The total on your weekly pulse now counts your links as they are, and when an import finishes, last week's numbers are worked out again so links saved that week show up in it.

Exports include shared folders

Sep 3

Your export now includes the folders others have shared with you, after your own. The JSON export marks each of them as shared, with your role in it.

Longer link titles

Sep 3

Your own title for a link can now be up to 1,000 characters, and an import keeps a link whose title runs longer than that: the title is shortened and the import says so.

Backup copies of very large pages

Sep 3

Your backup copy of a very large page now leaves out any single image or file over 10 MB instead of failing entirely, so the rest of the page is kept.

Save from your phone

Sep 2

Install Linkbucket on your Android phone, iPhone or iPad, share links to it from other apps on Android, and add the ready-made Shortcut that puts it in your iPhone's share sheet, no assembly needed.

Folder timelines

Sep 2

Shared folders have a Timeline tab now: who added or removed which link and who joined, day by day, newest first. The grid shows what is there, the timeline shows what happened.

Days follow your clock

Sep 2

added:today, added:yesterday, before: and after: now flip at your midnight instead of UTC's, and hiding the trial notice keeps it hidden for the rest of your day.

Home lines up on big screens

Sep 2

On a wide monitor Home now sits in the same centered column as your links, tags, and folders instead of stretching edge to edge.

The back button stops replaying the past

Sep 1

Going back no longer revives a finished toast, a stale bulk selection, or an open card menu, and a signed-out tab now takes you to the sign-in page instead of silently doing nothing.

Six cards across on big screens

Sep 1

On a wide monitor your links, folders, and Home sections now spread up to six cards per row instead of stopping at four or five.

Open tabs behave at the edges

Sep 1

A form left open past a quiet session refresh now asks you to try again instead of failing, the sign-in page open in two tabs no longer breaks your passkey, and signing out disconnects every tab immediately.

The Pulse says which week

Sep 1

The weekly Pulse covers the last finished week, Monday to Sunday, and its headline now says so instead of calling it this week.

The Pulse gets the details right

Sep 1

The top tag now counts the week's saves, your bucket's birthday shows up even when it lands across New Year, quiet weeks rotate through your older reads, and opening the Pulse marks the week you actually saw as read.

Trial emails tell the truth about dates

Sep 1

Trial emails now name your trial's actual last day, reminders stop once you have scheduled account deletion, and a delayed warning can no longer name a return-by date that has already passed.

Search filter fixes

Sep 1

Removing a quoted filter chip really removes it now, the Saved histogram previews what a click will show, and the Search button shows its keyboard focus ring.

Import and export loose ends

Sep 1

Import reports now mark a link that could not be added instead of counting it as added, export files stay available a full seven days after they finish, and an unfinished signup lands on the finish-signup form instead of a greeting with your raw email address.

Hiding the trial notice sticks

Aug 31

Hide the trial notice while another page was still loading and it could sneak back. Hidden now means hidden until tomorrow.

Welcome fireworks stay for you

Aug 31

The fireworks after your first save no longer vanish when your browser quietly preloads Home before you get there.

The Pulse

Aug 30

The bucket button in the header is alive. Once a week it has something true to say about your bucket: what you saved, what is backed up, one thing worth doing. Everything on it comes from what you saved, nothing from watching you. The +N this week on Home opens it too.

Home in marine blue

Aug 30

Your Home is marine blue now, not green.

Tag suggestions

Aug 30

Save a page the bucket already knows and it suggests your own tags found in the page's text. Nothing is invented.

Quieter trial reminders

Aug 30

The trial notice only appears in your last week, and you can hide it until tomorrow. The account menu carries the days quietly the whole time.

A welcome worth arriving to

Aug 29

Your first save gets a proper welcome now: paste a link, tag it, and land on Home with fireworks.

Home

Aug 29

Your bucket opens on Home now: the week at a glance, and sections you define, each one a saved search.
