Pagination for huge collections?

[aoksan]

Having 4000 raindrops makes loading time longer especially for All [a], a kind of pagination may help with that.

The thing with Braindrop is I've designed it (much like Tinboard before it) to be my daily-driver when it comes to managing bookmarks; and as such I want a full local copy of the data. Turning it into something that is more of a "live" view of the data, using the pagination to move through the data, would make it more and more into a thin client -- essentially a terminal-based web browser with one service it browses.

Also this sort of approach would make filtering and searching either a lot slower, or simply not workable (except, again, if that was done via the API, which would make it a thin client for Raindrop and that's not the design I'm going for here).

For the foreseeable future I think Raindrop's approach here will be "someone changed this data elsewhere, pull down a fresh copy".

What would be really nice would be if Raindrop's API let you get a delta of some form.
