My website bookmarks don't display the way they should
Our Smart Bookmarking tools always try to find the best way to display a website you bookmark in your mind. Your mind does this automatically to make sure you can easily find things later, as visually as possible. There's a complex system of AI and rules to make this happen, but due to the ever-evolving nature of AI, it may not always work perfectly.
If you do not see nice card preview of your bookmark, it might be because the website you're trying to bookmark is blocking our service. It's nothing personal, they just do this because they don't know us. They do it with everyone else too.
In this case, you can change the thumbnail yourself manually with any other image or screenshot you like.
Why some sites save with thumbnail and others with a screenshot
If you save the link to a product, article, video, film/TV series, book, Wikipedia page or GitHub page, they will be visible with their own special thumbnail and unique experience in expanded view. All other URLS are saved with screenshot. We choose to show a screenshot vs. a thumbnail, as most websites use the same universal thumbnail for every page on their site. Showing a screenshot of the page makes it easier to identify the site and preserves/archives the page contents as it was when you saved it.
Why is Spotify (or another link) saving as a web page instead of a special card type, like it used to?
If you've been using mymind for some time, you may have saved a lot of Spotify albums, songs, and playlists to mymind, where they appear as a beautiful little album/disc card. That was possible because we were able to access a lot of Spotify's metadata in the past.
Unfortunately, Spotify is currently blocking us from accessing that metadata the way we used to, so mymind defaults instead to a basic web page card. While you can upload a nicer looking custom thumbnail for that card, there isn't a way to turn it into an album/song/playlist card right now. Other websites are following suit and blocking us (and other apps) from accessing that info, so you may see this happen on other cards.
The team is currently testing out some workarounds, but there is no ETA for when these links will be saving properly again.
