Beta phase for v2.0.0

Hello there,

anyone who’s up for a bit of testing in order to get an earlier glimpse at the new features of the upcoming floccus (folder sync 😉) version can follow the guide below.

Folders are now synced by utilizing specialized tags that contain the path of the folder the bookmark is in, e.g. floccus:>your>folder.

@SoftwareEngineer I just found an error concerning the creation of bookmarks on the server, in the develop branch. That might have been the bug you ran into. Should be fixed now.
