Raindrop is good, but I had problems exporting my bookmarks. I clicked 'export' and the email with the download link didn't arrive. Contacted support and heard nothing back from them. Got the impression someone's asleep at the wheel after that, so I deleted my account.

For those using Pinboard, make sure you export your bookmarks regularly so you have a local copy. I have a strange feeling the service will go bust in a number of years. It's been in maintenance mode for a while and is coasting along, but remember, services on the net are largely ephemeral and Pinboard has had a good run. That's only my gut feeling though.

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

I 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/ [1] https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1476079701978345472?s=20...

I agree. I was using Pinboard for a long time but with the pricing changes and lack of support, I switched to self-hosting LinkAce (https://www.linkace.org).

If you would like to keep all your data private, self hosting is a good option. - LinkAce ( https://www.linkace.org ) - Linkding ( https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding ) - Wallabag ( https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag ) - Buku ( https://github.com/jarun/Buku ) - Linkwarden ( https://github.com/Daniel31x13/link-warden )

That's the exact opposite of being a spiritual successor to Delicious. It wasn't about hoarding personal data and keeping it secret. It was about sharing it publicly, like Twitter, and people following each other based on either personal connection or just a shared interest graph.

FWIW, this sort of thing (Delicious-like) always struck me as a good use case for decentralization.

I want to upload a big collection of URLs (or a small collection or just one URL - occasions vary) and get subject tags assigned automatically (then I would download the dataset back). This is about functional programming, that is about Star Wars, other two are about healthcare etc. del.icio.us could do this. Pocket can do it (albeit not for free). Are there more alternatives?

Maciej 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

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.

Is this the motivation I need to reboot my https://curabase.com efforts?

Several years ago I wrote my own spiritual successor. It’s called Curabase.

It has been posted on HN before. If there’s enough interest I will renew development efforts on it.

I’ve been looking for a side hustle again
