I use Google Keep. It's amazing. It's one of those side tabs on GMail that you close when you first start a new account and never look at again. I use the web and iOS version (through "share") half a dozen times a day. https://keep.google.com/
Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?

As a paying customer, I would not recommend pinboard. Just look at some recent discussions on HN. It has been abandonware for years now.
Is it failing for you? Would you switch to some other alternative?
Part of it is also that tech bros are upset that Maciej didn't go full-coinbase and is instead pretty active socially/politically.
I'm happy to keep using it and paying for it. Works fine for my needs.

#183Pinboard is still quite active. If you need proof just go to /recent which is a live firehose and interesting to see what people are bookmarking. I use Pinboard and regularly export my bookmarks incase their servers are hacked/wiped/corrupted.

#187It's kind of fun to track my interests over time by counting tag frequency, but I mainly use it out of nostalgia and for the mere constancy of it.

#188I have started doing something completely different than using bookmarks. I set up yacy[1] on a personal, internal server at my home, which I can access from all my devices, since they are always on my wireguard vpn. Yacy is actually a distributed search engine, but I run in 'Robinson mode' as a private peer, to keep it isolated, as I just want a personal search of only sites I have indexed. Anytime I come across som…
Edit : looks like the docker config allow to mount a arbitrary folder , that folder can be shared. I don’t need it to be concurrent proof.
Again, thanks this look nice.

This is great, and is something I've wanted for a while. I use pinboard which is supposed to have similar capabilities (click 'search full text', 'search mine' after turning on and paying for 'archiving'), but I've never been totally confident in it (pages would change, and the cached version was updated to a 404 page), and ended up letting my archiving subscription lapse. I think google used to offer something that…

I was using Magnolia before Pinboard and it went down permanently. Fortunately, at the time, I was doing link blog posts once or twice a week so I was able to recover most of my links with a bit of work.
