I really like Pinboard, and I used to use it a lot but for some reason I stopped. I'd like to start using it again. There's a big elephant in my library though: thousands of chrome bookmarks, uncategorized ("I like this!" ctrl-D).
Is it possible to import all my Chrome bookmarks and have them auto-tagged based on popular tags?
Even if full coverage isn't possible, partial would be great. For example, I have hundreds of books bookmarked, all of them on Amazon (books). Similar with imdb (movies), .pdfs (papers), youtube (videos), etc.
- a3n 12y agohttps://pinboard.in/howto/#import https://pinboard.in/howto/#import There is an import feature (and an export feature). Basically export your browser's bookmarks to html, however that works. Then import that file to pinboard. I'm pretty sure I did that, two years ago. I don't remember if tags survive the process from browser to pinboard.
- TarpitCarnivore 12y agoThis write up[1] really helped me see the value in Pinboard, and I just decided to jump right into it. I've been much happier using it over Firefox built-in bookmarking tool, and find it 300x better than relying on Evernote. Even with the webclipper getting to and finding clipped items in Evernote was a painfully slow process. On my desktop I have this[2] Alfred.app workflow installed which makes getting to the bookmarks even easier, and faster, than clicking on in the bar. 1. http://shawnblanc.net/2013/09/pinboard-guide/ http://shawnblanc.net/2013/09/pinboard-guide/ 2. http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/4426-alfred-pinboard-version-222-updated/?hl=pinboard http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/4426-alfred-pinboard-versio...
