Topics

Categorise bookmarks with topics — flat labels or nested hierarchies

A topic is how you categorise bookmarks in mnera.io. One bookmark can belong to many topics, and topics can be nested under parent topics to form a hierarchy. There's no separate “tags” system — topics cover both use cases.

Two ways to use topics

  • Flat — like tags. Create topics at the root level (no parent) and assign several to a bookmark to give it multiple labels.
  • Nested — like folders. Put one topic under another with the parent-topic selector. Selecting the parent in the sidebar surfaces every bookmark under it, including those in subtopics.

You can mix the two freely in the same collection — some topics flat, others deeply nested.

Creating a topic

  1. In the sidebar, click New → Add topic.
  2. Give it a title.
  3. Optionally pick a parent topic from the dropdown to nest it.
  4. Click Save.

Topics created in the active collection live only in that collection's file — see Collections.

Assigning topics to a bookmark

The add-bookmark and edit-bookmark forms include a multi-select with autocomplete over the active collection's existing topics. You can also create a new topic on the fly from the same field.

Managing topics

Click Manage in the Topics section header to rename topics, delete them, or reparent them — including moving subtrees. Deleting a topic leaves the bookmarks themselves intact; it only removes the topic association.

Filtering by topic

Click any topic in the sidebar to filter the list to its bookmarks. Click All Bookmarks at the top to clear the filter. See Filters.

Topics are per-collection

Note: Each collection has its own topic tree. A topic called “Programming” in Work is a different topic from one of the same name in Personal — they're separate resources in separate files and don't merge.
