I liked pinboard a lot but I got tired of using wonky browser extensions and having to bookmark the thread I found a link from as a semi-duplicate.
I'd love any feedback people have for me, I've only shown it to a small number of people so far.
That said, as a power user on del.icio.us and then Pinboard:
- I should be able to put every single non-control Unicode character in a tag. Basically, they should be arbitrary UTF-8 bytes. So backslash, less than, smiley, omega, non-breaking space and the like. The only difficulty with this is making sure the markup is properly escaped.
- Personally I'm not a fan of separate flags like "unread", and the only one I've ever used is the "private" flag (which shouldn't be implemented using just tags - just consider someone tagging "privat" and not realizing the bookmark isn't private). First, tags are perfect for this use case, and gives a lot more freedom to implement whatever hacks I want, like "tosee"/"unwatched" for videos, "at:chapter-3" to mark progress, and the like. Second, it is a different axis along which bookmarks are accessed, orthogonal to the tags. Which means different mechanisms for grouping, sorting, searching, etc. just for this one flag.
Regarding tags: I am not sure I completely agree with you how easy it will be to remove all the current limits on tags but I do share your sentiment and I have filed the matter as a github issue: https://github.com/calpaterson/quarchive/issues/67 . I can't promise any priority because as this is a side project I can only work at my own pace but I foresee it happening "soon" - just that my main task right now is showing what I have to people and getting feedback.
On the unread flag: you're probably right. That was implemented before tags were, in order to allow for importing my own bookmarks from pinboard (I personally do not use tags).
Private flags: as a usability matter, yes. But my plan is to allow for more fine-grained sharing/permissions (the MVP of which is the current share feature).
Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate the time you took to try it out and leave your comments. Do keep in touch over email! cal@calpaterson.com

Pinboard dude has resurrected Delicious finally
I personally find pinboard useful but I suspect the number of people who actively research and curate content is pretty small.
I never had an account :( but always wanted to go through all the publicly listed bookmarks. The site's not really allowed that for years.
EDIT: PSA, site is experiencing hug of death, so just FWIW, it only contains a Web 1.99-styled login form.
oh wait, it's dead again
Bummer. I hope the password reset works for me when it's finished. I found my first PG essays through del.icio.us, so it's probably responsible for my being on HN now. I'd love to dig through the old links hyping "folksonomy" and AJAX. :)
Anyone remember Napster? They were convinced launching it as a legal service would be a huge success just because of the name. Didn't happen.
Not complaining, I'll be very happy to see my old bookmarks once it's up and running solidly.
Can't we put a modicum of effort and stop just posting link to what effectively is a login page for del.icio.us.
That being said for anyone keeping up on these things there was an update over the course of last year that said it would be back (it was offline/there was no login page for years) so this appears to be new.
