Not a new type of column, just an option alongside the 🖤

“Hearting” is not appropriate for everything.  
… Add to reading list  
… Add to watch list  
… Add to vendor list

There are times when a heart is a bit juvenile for the context. Swapping it for a bookmark makes sense.

And my suggestion for fav icons:

❤ Favorite  
❌ Close  
📌 Pin  
🔖 Bookmark  
⏱ Watch later  
📚 Add to Library  
🔒 Private  
🛒 Add to Cart

And so on…

ah, you mean the ability to upload your own icon?  
I’m thinking the universal bookmark icon inheriting the app’s accent color (when it’s a standalone component) or simply white just like the heart when overlaid on an image.

I agree with you 100%. I do not think that the heart icon is intuitive to save things. It literally means that you like some thing everywhere else, not that you’re saving it.

Ah, no…

Actually I was also suggesting different icons to have in image, inline lists and so 😅

For instance, instead of clicking in ❤ and Add to Library, could have also a 📚 icon where would be more cognitive

I think maybe being able to choose the icons used for the tabs, would be better than uploading a small image. Or maybe if we could use emoji.
