Trove is a shared collection of links organized by tags. Each link can have one or more tags (e.g. games, retro, tools).
Click any tag to see all links with that tag. The URL updates to reflect the filter — e.g. /games shows all links tagged "games".
Combine tags by adding more path segments. For example:
/games — links tagged "games"/games/retro — links tagged both "games" and "retro"/games/retro/free — links tagged all threeThe heading shows the active filters joined by /, mirroring the URL. Click any filter in the heading to navigate to just that tag.
Prefix a tag with - to exclude it:
/games/-retro — links tagged "games" but not "retro"Hover over any tag on a link card to see a popup menu with two options, each labeled with the filter path it navigates to (same syntax as the URL):
Each card shows its full tag set, including tags in the active filter; those have no menu since they're already applied.
When signed in, the sidebar tag menu includes a ✎ edit option. This opens a dialog where you can rename the tag and add or change its description. Descriptions appear as tooltips when hovering over sidebar tags.
On wider screens, a sidebar appears on the left showing all tags present in the currently displayed links, sorted by frequency. Click a sidebar tag to see the same menu options. Tags already in the active filter are hidden from the sidebar.
The search bar in the filter bar performs full-text search across link titles, tags, and notes. Results update as you type. Search is case-insensitive and works in combination with tag filters and time period filters.
Each link card has a rating column on its left edge, with ❤️ on top, the current rating in the middle (shown once non-zero), and ♠️ on the bottom.
Links with a negative rating are hidden by default. The "N hidden" link in the link count lets you toggle their visibility. Ratings are stored locally in the browser.
Use the pseudo-tags _favs and _peeves in the tag sidebar to view positively or negatively rated links.
When signed in, hovering over a card reveals ✏️ and 🗑️ icons on its right edge. Click ✏️ to open an inline edit panel where you can change the title and edit tags (space-separated); Enter saves, Escape cancels. Click 🗑️ to delete a link. Changes are submitted to the backend and visible to all users.
Tags that start with a symbol followed by a username (e.g. @saul, !saul, +saul) are user tags. They represent per-user metadata on a link.
Use the bookmarklet (see below) to add links to trove. The bookmarklet can be used both on external pages and on the trove site itself.
The header contains a "add to trove" link. Drag it to your browser's bookmark bar. When visiting any page (including trove itself), click the bookmarklet to open a floating panel that lets you add the current page to trove without leaving it.
