Some weeks ago, I submitted a support request to change my Pinboard username. I still haven’t heard back!
And today, I happened to run across people on HackerNews (yeah, I know) talking about how Pinboard has been broken for them, how their paid archival functions haven’t been working (I don’t have an archival account, so I didn’t notice that), how the owner, Maciej, has been completely incommunicado on the Pinboard blog for *years*... And yet every time someone makes a complaint on HN, he’s right there in the comments with some snarky response.
Like, on the one hand, I get that he’s a one-man operation. No staff, no nothing.
But on the other hand, this is a service people are paying money for.
So I backed up my bookmarks and moved to Linkhut.
Linkhut seems great so far. I might wind up spinning up my own instance just to have total control over my bookmarks — it doesn’t look too difficult to do.
Aside from that, SeaMonkey’s built-in bookmarks are actually *really* good, but it’s always nice to be able to access bookmarks from another browser. I have actually been using Pocket recently, too, but feel kind of eh about the layout.
I don’t know where I’ll end up long-term. Either way, stuff I really like is still going to wind up in the bookmarks section of this capsule.
