How do you envision this working? Like having a special URL you can generate and share for someone to view private bookmarks?

Essentially, yes. After setting up my domain with the links service, I thought I would be able to see my private links listed on it, but it turns out only my public links are available. I envision having an additional link visibility option, in addition to "Private" and "Public", that allows a link to be accessible on the custom domain.

I've toyed with this a bit and can't figure out a good solution to do this. Mainly because since the links are displayed on a different domain, the account session cookies won't be sent to the service. So basically every user is not authenticated to the service.

I toyed with some JS magic to fetch and insert private links but it's a terrible experience and a huge pain to integrate them correctly in the correct order while also respecting pagination, etc.
