pinboard.in but Maciej appears to be offline (?) at the moment and archiving is a bit broken (for me). Hope he's OK.

- tekknolagi 4y agoIIRC Maciej even bought del.icio.us
- test1235 4y agoYep: https://blog.pinboard.in/2017/06/pinboard_acquires_delicious/ https://blog.pinboard.in/2017/06/pinboard_acquires_delicious...
- fishbacon 4y agoMaciej announced on twitter that he would be taking the year 2022 off [1]. I have not had any issues with pinboard but I also only use it occasionally. [1]: https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1476079701978345472 https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1476079701978345472
- voltagex_ 4y agoYep but also no response via the Pinboard support email.
- nora-puchreiner 4y agoAnd blog.pinboard.in shows default Apache stub...
- pjc50 4y agoYes, he spent the last couple of years getting involved in the US election and clearly burned himself out on that.
- whywhywhywhy 4y agoTwitter really did a number on this guy over the past few years. Glad he’s taking some time away from it.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoI wouldn't minimize his work as "twitter" — he spent a lot of time, money, and effort on raising money (millions) for various downballot candidates over multiple elections only to ultimately find that it didn't have much impact. That's a bit crushing, and the kind of thing that takes some time to digest. I was a bit flummoxed myself and I had much less skin in the game.
- cxr 4y ago> Maciej announced on twitter that he would be taking the year 2022 off Err... To just say he said he was "taking the year[...] off" has an entirely different connotation. The tweet says that he decided to step away from Twitter. Those comments don't explain the lack of activity on Pinboard. He in fact specifically mentions getting other things done and links to Pinboard.
- NetOpWibby 4y agoHe’s just taking a year off Twitter
- systemvoltage 4y agoPinboard is nice, I got a year subscription on a whim and don't use it. It is too much friction to use, not sure why. Even after installing a browser extension, it is just easier to drag the link in the bookmarks bar than to pin it on pinboard.
- JamesBaxter 4y agoI really like Pinboard and Maciej but Pinboard feels forgotten. Even the Pinboard blog URL [0]he linked to in his leaving Twitter tweet[1]is showing the Apache Default page to me. I know there are a couple of good mobile apps for Pinboard but I’d much prefer just being able to use the site on mobile [0] http://blog.pinboard.in/ http://blog.pinboard.in/ [1] https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1476079701978345472?s=20&t=2rV-5zZPFDF3zi4KN9YiHg https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1476079701978345472?s=20...
- adamors 4y agoThis should work, note the http vs https https://blog.pinboard.in https://blog.pinboard.in
- jffry 4y ago> I’d much prefer just being able to use the site on mobile When's the last time you tried that? Sometime in the past year ish (can't remember exact dates), it got updated to scale properly on narrow screens, and I've had no problem using it on mobile since then.
- JamesBaxter 4y agoUsing it on an iPhone 12 Mini-Firefox and the “Add Bookmark” screen is a tiny form in an ocean of white emptiness. https://ibb.co/jZgzQnF https://ibb.co/jZgzQnF
- jffry 4y agoI rarely add links on mobile so I'd forgotten that was still an issue, my use case is mostly searching/browsing my own existing bookmarks
- AlexandrB 4y agoOn iPhone I use an app[1] for a nicer experience. [1] https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/pins-for-pinboard/id1547106997 https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/pins-for-pinboard/id1547106997
