I run Pinboard. I have my own hardware running Ubuntu. The site itself runs PHP+MySQL, with perl scripts for backend tasks. I make heavy use of Twitter to talk about unrelated topics, and eventually people take pity and sign up for the site, using either Stripe or PayPal.
- andrei_says_ 7y agoThank you for running a straightforward reliable fast service long term without f-ing it up with feature creep or monetization rot. I trust it and use it every day.
