alap-gather

Drag menu items into a collection tray to build ad-hoc sets from multiple Alap menus.

What it does

Gather adds a side tray to any page with Alap menus. Drag a menu item sideways to collect it. Mix items from static configs and live protocol feeds (:atproto:, :json:) into a single collection. Organize with folders, then view or export.

Features

• Grab from menus — pointer-drag any menu item into the tray
• External drops — drag regular links from the page or other tabs onto the tray
• Folders — create, rename, reorder, collapse; drag items between folders
• Lightbox / Lens — open the collection in Alap's lightbox or lens viewer
• Export — JSON config, Markdown with #tags, Netscape bookmark HTML
• Save / Import — full round-trip JSON with folder structure
• Enrichment — external drops auto-enrich via client-side oEmbed (Vimeo, Spotify)
• Persistence — items, folders, and cards survive page reloads via localStorage

HighNotes

Double-click a collected item (or drag it out of the tray) to materialize a floating card on the page.

• Draggable — grab the header to reposition
• Pinnable — pin to viewport (fixed) or anchor to document (scrolls with page)
• Collapsible — double-click header to toggle
• Z-stacked — most recently touched card floats on top; auto-rebases when the stack gets deep
• Tag navigation — click a tag chip to open a filtered lightbox across all collected items with that tag

Lightbox and lens overlays always float above HighNotes cards.
