New Tab share link format

From now the automatically generated tab share link will include a harder to guess id. The id won't be just a multiple digit number, rather it will be the combination of random letters and digits like "gpWKX3zE".

Instead of the old format https://www.bookmarkninja.com/share/245687, links like https://www.bookmarkninja.com/share/gpWKX3zE will be used.

Tabs that you have shared previously will be still accessible with the old share links. However if you stop sharing a previously shared tab and you decide to share it again, it will get a share link in the new format.

If you want to migrate your current shared tabs' share links to the new format then simply stop sharing the tabs and share them again. If you migrate any of your shared tabs' share links to the new format, make sure to update the share links where you use them, where you posted them.

You can learn more about tab sharing in the Sharing Tabs blog post.

  1. Thanks for the update.

    I am just thinking, maybe it would be cool to have something more personal: https://www.bookmarkninja.com/username/share/tab name

    But yeah, I'm still looking forward to sharing by tags😜

    1. Hi Charles, good idea, a customizable share id in the URL can be the next improvement. Sure, I still have the "sharing by tags" request in the backlog. :) Will not forget about it but there are lots of feature requests competing with each other. Thanks for your patience!
