Imgur: Categorizing Favorites

A design to allow users to favorite posts and organize them into folders/categories.

Favorites folders is a long-requested feature for Imgur, however it is hard to get a sense of just how important the feature is to the broader user base. As such, I wanted its implementation to have as little impact on the default post UI as possible. With this design, the only change to the interface is the addition of a vertical ellipses (3 small dots) next to the Favorite (heart) icon.

Once a user favorites a post, the ellipses fills in green. Users can now click on it to reveal a list of their Favorites categories/folders which they can then add the current post to. If there is not a suitable folder, or if this is the user's first time categorizing a post, they can create a new folder directly from this menu.

Posts default to an 'Uncategorized' folder when favorited should the user not wish to manually categorize a post or interact with folders at all.
