> but find it equally frustrating from my side sometimes
Yes, I've tried in my requests not to come off as mean or indignant, I understand you're a single person supporting what's now a rather large project. You probably don't get this enough: thank you for building pinboard and maintaining it. For many years it was a shining beacon of excellence that you didn't get enough credit for.
If you say you're working on raising the limit (the site claims mine is ~90GB, I guess it's just on the threshold) then I believe you and I'm happy to stick around a while longer. My complaint comes from not knowing what you're up to. Until this comment I hadn't seen any signs of life for quite some time. I know you've chosen to keep this a one-man thing, which limits the number of emails you can respond to, but even a twitter account with updates about the service would be appreciated.
> I get why it's frustrating to not have pet features like substring search built for you
I think I chose the wrong phrasing for this, I'm not asking for a new feature. Say that there's a bookmark with the title "COVID Recovery", a search for "COVID" might not return that bookmark. I haven't found a pattern to it, search usually works, but if I can't rely on search that sharply reduces the value in having a lot of bookmarks.
