I'm an old timer who still uses pinboard every day. I converted my account immediately. The new pricing still represents great value and I've had incredible value from my original account.
Maciej's approach to this seems to be entirely reasonable: he's being open about the position he's in and giving users the option to support the site whilst not forcing change on them.
We could do with more services like pinboard - real utility, reasonably priced and not dependent on VC money and / or needing massive user growth to have a sustainable future.
- lisper 6y agoI know that "me too" posts are generally frowned up here but I think in this case it's warranted: me too.
- foxhop 6y agoAgreed. Great solution Maciej! I did something similar for Remarkbox [0] and switched all accounts to full access and changed the model to pay-what-you-can. I want Remarkbox to become a utility as well and this was the best idea I could think of. [0] https://www.remarkbox.com https://www.remarkbox.com
- eitland 6y agoAlready switched last year as I wanted archiving. My biggest fear was forgetting to pay and losing all bookmarks but I asked and the answer was it would fallback to my old account so then it was a no-brainer: support pinboard and get archiving all for one small fee.
