a nice and clean site! assuming you want folks to use your service/sites. some suggestions: - if you get a way to let folks to download their own bookmarks as a backup, that could remove some concern... - as the name implied, if you could provide a terminal cli, that will be a plus too.. my 2c...

Is it open source and self-hostable? At this point I no longer trust these kinds of services since they always seem to be abandoned, suffer from enshittification, or just degrade. I need to know I can migrate easily once it happens.

pinboard.in has been around for quite awhile :)

That is the exact service that came to mind when I saw the words “abandoned” and “enshittification”.

pinboard.in still rocking!

I thought pinboard.in is not longer maintained? "Ask HN: What Happened to Pinboard (Dec '22 edition)?" ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34062802 ) There's also a June, August, November edition.

Reading that thread from December, it looks like Pinboard’s archive service is not in good health, but the core bookmarking service is still operating correctly. I didn’t really remember that Pinboard had an archiving service (delicious didn’t), but yep, that extra component appears to be suffering.

It still works fine for me including archiving. So either it's very resilient or there is maintenance happening.
