Although [Checkvist Bookmarklet](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/checkvist-bookmarklet/pheahjlflgbnajeilgglgcdlbkdckamf?hl=en) does provide the basic feature, it lacks polish. When I want to save a bookmark, I want saving it for later to be as [friction-free](https://www.uxpin.com/studio/blog/kill-friction-before-it-kills-your-ux/) as the Pocket Chrome extension.

With Pocket, I click the Pocket logo (effectively a button) and it saves the url to Pocket. One click and done. [No thought](https://www.sensible.com/dmmt.html) required. A popup then appears allowing me to add tags, if I want.

With the Checkvist Bookmarklet, I see the icon in a similar spot (to the right of my address bar), however, clicking it does not save the current page's url to Checkvist. Rather, it opens a menu. The first menu option, Checkvist Bookmarket, takes me to the plugin's page in the Play store, something no typical user would ever care to do. The other menu options are are not directly tied to my desire to save a bookmark in Checkvist, so more noise. Rather, you have to press Alt+Shift+C, but doing this requires a confirmation of the desired destination. More friction.

Save a url with Pocket: click.
Save a url with Checkvist: Alt+Shift+C, click Add to List. All of this plus a meaningless button on my address bar.

A good UI should at minimum allow me to specify a default list, so that when I click the Checkvist button on the address bar it's instantly added to that list. It might then present a small popup in the upper right that allows me to target another list, if I want.

With a friction-free interface for saving bookmarks, Checkvist could effectively replace Pocket (or a comparable bookmarking app) entirely.

Not sure if it is allowed by the OS/javascript but if any existing text in the filter/search text box was selected when using the / shortcut it would make for a more fluid and quicker workflow.

Generally I want to filter or search on an entirely new value when heading back up to the search/filter text box. If there's an existing filter in effect I have to hit Ctrl/Cmd + A to Select All (or click+drag to select) then click backspace or delete. If the existing text was selected at the time the shortcut key was pressed, it would cut out the middle step. If you did want to modify the existing search term you could just use the arrow keys to cancel the selection.
