 Because Mastodon posts can disappear for a variety of reasons (deletion, defederation, server instance shutdown, ...), it is safer to archive your bookmarks.
 
 Each Markdown file will contain:
-- A link to the original post
+- [x] A link to the original post
-- The author's handle
+- [x] The author's handle
-- The post's content in HTML
+- [x] The post's content in HTML
-- The media attachments locally downloaded
+- [x] The media attachments locally downloaded
-- If available, the alt text for each media
+- [x] If available, the alt text for each media
+- [ ] The full thread, if applicable
+- [ ] The link card, if any
 
-Most of these values will be in the form of `key:: value` for easy integration with Obsidian's plugin Dataview. A sample script is available [here](./dataview-query.js)
