Button to open Pocket webpage list.

Issue #7 wontfix
Former user created an issue

Sometimes I want to open Pocket webpage to look at my list, I know it's easy to just type it in the address bar but I don't usually type it so the address won't show it immediately. This can be a totally optional feature (on/off on addon settings) to show a button on addon's popup.

    I won't add this feature for the moment. As you say, it's really easy to access the website from the address bar (can even be bookmarked for easier access to the pocket URL), and there is also the pocket integration in firefox that allows "quick" access to the website.

    It's tough to keep the addon options, features and UI as clean and minimalist as possible, and adding this kind of feature still implies a new setting and the related logic. So this is typically the kind of features I'd like to avoid for the moment, until I reach a point where all needed features are developed, and I'll be able to look into this kind of "nice-to-have" stuff.

    @pabuisson, thank you for your response and I think that makes sense. How about a compromise and create a button on the same line as the "find" search box within the existing view? (How about reusing the space used by "R" to "Open a Random Page"?)

    I don't think the existing Firefox Pocket integration allows you to quickly go to the Pocket web page. I believe it only supports "Save Page to Pocket".

    It is obviously a low priority and a feature request, so just something to think about.

    Hey thanks for answering back.

    Hmmm, I think it does. I only have a screenshot in French but it should help you to find it. It's not a direct access but it's only 2 clicks away, one to open the menu, and the other one to click the "View pocket list" entry. I never use it myself but it's there and might be what you're looking for.

    @pabuisson, you are absolutely correct. I had never even noticed it before! Thank you, this is more than enough.
