Cannot for the life of me create bookmarks
Since upgrading to >v1.0 I just can't create any bookmarks to websites at all. I'm now on 1.5.0 and it's still the same. When I click on "Add bookmark" I get this popup:

Can I install Homarr on a Raspberry Pi?
Solution
1. Click on your profile image/circle
2. Click "Management"
3. Click "Apps"
4. Click "New App"
5. Give it a title for your bookmark, select your icon, and put in the URL.
6. Select the app you just created.
A bit odd as you have to select an icon. You can always upload a custom one. Would be easier to just add a bookmark and have it parse the html favicon. Hope this helps.
Additionally, here's the link to the documentation surrounding bookmarks: https://homarr.dev/docs/widgets/bookmarks/

The Bookmarks widget enables you, to add a list of web pages or URLs to your dashboard - similar like bookmarks in Browsers.
Thank you, seems a bit of a change calling a bookmark an app but I'll roll with it 🫡
Yes… everything seems now to be an App.
Correct. Let me give you some insights why we did this:
- Bookmarks are in a nutshell very similar to apps. Just think of them as links. Both are links and have the same properties, such as icon, name, url, ...
- In 1.0, we generalized many systems to simplify development and improve the technical implementation.
- We wanted to get rid of confusing terms and functions in 1.0, because we never properly assessed our requirements in 0.15.10 and before.
I understand that this may be confusing at the start, but the nice thing is, that all improvements made over time to the app will also apply to the bookmarks. Hope this answers your question. Can I mark this as resolved?
yes, all good - understand the reasoning, keep up the amazing work guys 👊
Thank you. I will mark this as answered now. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
