Include article/source page's date (not the date the link was added)
I'm adding lots of web articles and blog posts so a team I'm working with can organize their research. It's important to know the date the article itself was published; is there a way to include this in Tagpacker (display it and allow for sorting by the source page's date?)
Do you want to set/mantain the publication date manually?

Hi again! Any updates on whether this feature will be considered?

Hi! Thanks for your reply! Would it be possible to have both? :) I think it would be great to automatically extract the date, and then be able to manually edit the field (either to correct it or to add the date manually, if automatic extract won't work). But if not, just being able to set it manually would be a great feature. Thank you!

There would be a chance to automatically extract the publication date from the source article/blog post.
Some websites support http://ogp.me/
But this would not work in all cases.However, one way to support the requested feature would be to make the creation date editable. Any thoughts on this?

I agree with this for a slightly different reason.
The date I add a link to Tagpacker is not important to me because what I may be "Packing" (saving to Tagpacker) may often be a webpage or story from several years ago. I already try my best to add a year tag to all my bookmarks but some webpages especially blogs have no date anywhere on the page as to when that article or story was written. When I do a search for something I have no clue if it's still relevant today because I can't tell how long ago it was written.
If Tagpacker has a way to figure that out then AWESOME and if it included the webpage/article/story date instead of the date we saved the link then that means I no longer have to create year tags which would shorten my tag list and save me time.
