As a power user (21k bookmarks, 16k tags) I'm sorry to see Pinboard dying. I don't want any more features, but the killer feature introduced a few years, ago, archiving, is long dead:
> You asked to download your archive on 2022-10-04 17:36:42.
> You'll get email once the download link is ready.
Yeah, nah. I've requested this many times since it stopped working, and that was probably more than a year ago now.
Fortunately XML/HTML/JSON backups still work, so moving to another service should be easy.

- thomas536 4y agoDid they publish that fact anywhere?
- robbintt 4y agoI apparently misread the tweet last year. They took the year off twitter LOL. https://twitter.com/pinboard/ https://twitter.com/pinboard/
- austinjp 4y agoI've seen people (on here?) suggest that Maciej is on a long period of leave from Pinboard, and will definitely return to breathe fresh life into the product. But I don't think I've seen an official statement from him to that effect, not on the blog anyway https://blog.pinboard.in/ https://blog.pinboard.in/ Do we know if he's okay?
- l0b0 4y agoFollow-up: Weirdly, it seems the backend for the archive feature is working fine - it's reporting what looks like a correct number of bookmarks, and says the backup is currently 51 GB, up from 30 GB when I last downloaded in July 2020. I guess there's an automation step missing (including throttling!), and then it could just run itself.
