HiveSuite — Full Bookmark System with Categories, Rich Cards & Link Saver

Category-Based Bookmark Organization

Added dedicated bookmark categories:
- All
- Posts
- Snaps
- Comments
- Videos
- Users
- Communities

Users can now organize saved content more efficiently based on content type.

Native Card Rendering

Each bookmark category now renders content using its original design:

Video bookmarks display using video cards.
Snap bookmarks use snap card layouts.
Blog post bookmarks match feed cards.
Community bookmarks preserve community layouts.
User bookmarks display profile-style cards.

This creates a much more familiar browsing experience when revisiting saved content.
