I have said this before in the context of similar discussions: the Pinboard website is in shambles, the owner doesn’t give a rat’s posterior beyond just collecting his money, and while from his blog, he may seem like some sort of a god entrepreneur, he doesn’t even do the bare minimum for his paying customers.

#32Would it be possible to consolidate all the "what happened to Pinboard" threads in one place? It would greatly reduce my workload!

#33I saw his tweets fall off. I hope he is alright.
Yeah he seems very depressive, going through some personal stuff.
I think his (pinboard) Twitter-bio said something dark like "The light inside is broken, but I still work" at some point.

#34Shameless plug: I run https://tefter.io a pinboard alternative which supports importing your bookmarks from pinboard and even has team collaboration features.
No shame in that, since your service is even cheaper. Oh. Nevermind. /s (In perspectice for 39$/month I can self host 1+ premium vps server(s) and run one or more of those https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#boo... )
I have an even cheaper service for you, an open-source self-hosted bookmarking service (Espial) that can import from pinboard export files.

#35I started the previous thread and nothing has changed for me - I just looked and my wife's account is still completely broken (full text search just returns errors), and 90% of the bookmarks on my account for the previous month have failed to archive at all.

That final one isn't especially upflifting, but it's from a meme.

Or, y'know, you could just either (a) stop screwing the people who gave you money, or (b) return the money and shut down the service you're ignoring.

#38I'd love to know why Maciej feels he can convince people to give him money, not provide the services he promises, and then be very flippant about it in this very thread (he's idlewords, and perhaps boneidlewords).

This guy has a habit of making fun of those who criticize him after paying him.

#40Is it possible to export all my data from pinboard? I'm realizing it would be nice to back that all up every once in a while
Can you export tab sets?
I find having bookmarks in context with related things open at the time to be quite valuable.
