I used it for a year until maybe 12 months ago. The one thing that made me leave was that everything was juat slow enough to irritate me. Not crazy slow, but not very responsive either. When looking for a bookmark in a folder and each folder takes a couple seconds to load, then your browse becomes tedious. I like that there's a good export function though, being able to be non committal to a tool is a prime feature I…

Yes. It is slow. This is precisely the reason I stopped using it.

Shameless plug but I’m working on a visual organization and bookmarking tool and feedback and input from someone like you would be crucial!

That's the reason why I stopped using it too. It looked pretty but I didn't feel productive because of the laggy-ness

I shilled this yesterday as well, but anybox (https://anybox.cc) might be for you, that's what I am using currently. It's native on iOS/Mac, syncs with iCloud and is very keyboard centric with Command Palette, Quick Open, etc.

No connected cloud SaaS subscription service (though there is an iAP with one-time purchase option) or other bells&whistles, just a good simple native app that does what I want it to do

I used Notion for some months, and this is why I stopped using it. It is too slow.

Edit: Notion has no one-click exit options. That's also a bummer.

Funny you should say that, I had the same experience, and when talking about that with a friend he told me that he never had any speed issues.

Looks nice. Bookmarked it with Pinboard.

Is pinboard still a thing? I've an account but haven't used it for ages. Maciej seems to have left twitter, http://blog.pinboard.in resolves to a placeholder page. Thought it was abandoned at this point.

Apparently it is, because Pinboard has taken over my search results for certain queries.

Raindrop servers located in Germany. Response time can be a slow if you too far away geographically. But we use caching intensively so it should not be a problem. Can you check again please?
