I like your interface a bit better than Pinboard's, because yours is more like Google's. I like some other things about yours, although I don't recall them at the moment. However, I do remember that I was able to bookmark PDFs, even if they aren't searchable. So, I can at least add tags.
I see that your Twitter is rather current, but it wouldn't hurt to do a monthly blog update, even something minor, because I assume that there are other people, than myself, who look at these details when it comes to deciding whether to commit to a service. Said commitment is really less about money, and more about the perceived reliability, stability, and long-term viability of the service.
I suggest that, in the export function, you include everything about each bookmark, such as tags, dates, and whatnot, because it will likely make the customer feel better to know that they can get a complete snapshot of their efforts, whether they are leaving the service, or whether they are attempting to occasionally perform some external operation on their data. Giving customers complete ownership of their information is a good differentiator, because most websites don't provide such a thing.
My last question: How do you handle (D)DOS attacks on public bookmarks? I can see this as being a potential problem.
Thank you for providing an alternative to Pinboard!
- StavrosK 15y agoHmm, you have a good point about blog updates, it's just that we use Twitter for minor announcements. I'll have to change that, though. Export already includes all the data except the actual page text, so by downloading that file once in a while you can reconstruct your bookmarks almost perfectly (or just import it into your browser). There haven't been any DoS attacks yet, but varnish is a champ, so that would be pretty easy to mitigate, depending on the scale...
