If Pinboard is being maintained, this is great news. I had thought it was abandoned and I have been looking for alternatives. My biggest pain point is the lack of maintained iOS clients.

By way of the Shortcuts app, every iPhone has a pre-installed Pinboard integration. I’ve taken to just using that to make new bookmarks, because you can make shortcuts that accept URLs from the share menu as inputs. Here’s my shortcut to add an item to my Pinboard unread list. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/486bc6782a60453cbdbcf9988c3fddfb https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/486bc6782a60453cbdbcf9988c3...

  OMG, I had just been looking for this exact thing a couple of weeks ago and missed it! Thank you for this comment! I’ve become intolerably disappointed with Pocket and this should enable me to self-host my reading list and still be able to use the iOS share sheet without having to get a costly dev license (or device) from Apple.

I really like Pushpin[1], which is actively maintained. Another user in this thread has also created a new client[1].

You would know pretty quickly if Pinboard stopped being maintained. Try the new Pins for Pinboard app, which just came out. I'm hopeful that once I get the new API out, it will be a lot less painful to build on top of, and we'll see some life in the apps department. The current API is a calque of the 2004 delicious API and lacks a lot of basic features (like "tell me what changed since time X") that clients need.

Pins is new. Pushpin is my favorite Pinboard interface/client in any capacity. It tells me how many times I’ve used a tag when auto completing tags. I love it! I’ve paid for both. Pins is available on Mac too. It’s still new.
