It should take 10 milliseconds?

Most things should complete in 16ms or less. Preferably less, some people have monitors with faster refresh rates than that.

Who cares about screen refresh rate? It’s not a FPS, if’s a webservice for bookmarking. If they can stay under 100ms, everyone would be fine. 16ms is starting to flirt with the limitations of your eye, without even taking into account info processing

He didn't "seem to have" left Twitter. He announced he was leaving Twitter for a year, about 6 months ago. It's literally the first tweet on his feed. blog.pinboard.in resolves to the Pinboard blog. Pinboard works great; I use it daily.

Pinboard works great for some. For others it doesn't work at all, and, unlike you, we mere mortals don't have Maciej's cell number. :-) The most grating part is where he ignores support mails, Twitter DMs etc. completely, over many, many months, but drops in on HN to talk about Pinboard, still ignoring you in that very thread. Really, this hasn't been going on for six months or so, this has been this way for years an…

I don't know about anyone else's Pinboard experience and am not denying anyone's experience, but I use it pretty much every day (I'm surprised by how often I use it) and I've never had a support request. Wait, that's not true, I once asked him to change the way tweet indexing worked, and he ignored me. But other than that: nothing.

Yeah I did not check his first tweet, I just don't see his tweets on my feed so I assumed he left. I've always loved his writing style and humor so his absence was obvious. Blog still loads a "Ubuntu Apache hey you managed to install this" page for me. ( https://link.ekin.dev/scKR1f ) Don't know why. Glad that it's still alive and kicking though.

You've somehow hit the http:// version of blog.pinboard.in. Chrome won't let me get to that page, but Safari will. The URL is https://blog.pinboard.in.

I'd be down with this if it used the OS sync (iCloud / Google Drive etc) and wasn't a subscription. As it stands, it looks like it charges monthly just to use a sync that I can't trust.

You can sync with as many devices you want. No such limitation even in Free. You can also connect sync to any other service through IFTTT for free. But yes backup to Dropbox & Google Drive is premium feature.

Any chance to add OneDrive in the future?

The NewsBlur RSS reader just added support for Raindrop.io, allowing you you to share a feed item and have it saved in Raindrop with categories and tags. https://forum.newsblur.com/t/feature-request-support-for-rai...

I noticed that! I was so surprised but so happy!

Please open source this and then add features like Google Drive/Dropbox backup, etc. as enterprise.

BrainTool[1] is a similar bookmarking extension that is open source[2] and syncs data to a plain text file (org-mode format) on Google Drive. [1] https://braintool.org [2] https://github.com/tconfrey/BrainTool

Looks very nifty. This is definitely more in line with what I was looking for.
