Is it failing for you? Would you switch to some other alternative?

  Part of it is definitely that Pinboard as a service (feels to be at least) is in "maintenance mode" with minimal support. But what new features does a bookmarking service need? Part of it is also that tech bros are upset that Maciej didn't go full-coinbase and is instead pretty active socially/politically. I'm happy to keep using it and paying for it. Works fine for my needs.

    I am not a techbro (not from a tech field) and I don’t want new features, only that the ones it has not stop working. Especially when I am paying for it.

  Exactly, I hate the idea that software has to be constantly updated. That's how we end up with so many bloated messes that started out simple (cough dropbox cough). Pinboard is simple, and for my needs at least, perfect. If he kept it in maintenance mode forever, I'd be fine with that.

    Ah yes, this is why Hackernews is now abandonware. /s

      HN has a full time maintainer @dang. And HN hasn’t started failing at its basic tasks like posting or commenting.

        The comment you're replying to was sarcasm (note the /s).
