Ability to edit link descriptions

[muety]

Hi @smaragdus, I'm glad you like Anchr! First of all, to avoid confusion, you are talking about the web app, not about the Android app, correct?

I see the need for being able to edit a link's description. I'll add this as a feature request and hopefully be able to implement it soon! Since there is no API for updating collections, yet, this will also require some backend-side changes, though.

I don't see the benefit of having open and copy button, though. Opening a link is just left clicking it. Copying is right click + Copy Link, so one more click, but I think that's fine, isn't it?

First, thanks for your quick response!

Yes, I meant the web app, I have already downloaded the Android app but haven't tested it yet.

It seems that I am stingy with clicks, this is a habit of mine to try to automate as much as possible and avoid clicks. I was even thinking of suggesting dynamic tool bar which appears on hovering the mouse pointer over the link but I thought it was too much. In short- I prefer one click operations but of course I don't mind if you choose to keep things as simple as possible. In its current form Anchr.io is usable for me- I use it just as a temporary emergency tool to share a link or two between the computer and the phone when Simplenote fails to synchronize data.

Thanks for your thoughts! I agree to introducing editing functionality for links, but abstain from adding the copy- and open buttons.
