If you want to be holy to HN, you have to develop a product with zero modernity, zero responsiveness. It's really interesting to pay for a site that only one man developed for his own pleasure.

#13This is my first time hearing about this website. Surprising to see the founder is American but the top level domain for pinboard is Indian, any particular reason he chose .in ?

#14I’m not sure what’s happened to Pinboard I hope Maciej is alright.
I tweeted him ages ago asking about if the pin a URL page could become responsive so I don’t have to use a separate mobile app. He’s responded with a joke. Years later and I’m still using the mobile app.

Btw anyone who is concerned about the stability of the system should use the export function, I do this every couple of months to allow for Maciej going under a bus.

#19Why would you capitalize most words in the title? It's harder to read, especially with invented names which should always be capitalized.

#20I would have happily done it if it wasn't for the abysmal support. Twice I emailed about an issue and haven't even gotten as much as a confirmation that my mail was received.
With a product as simple as this, I can get behind saying no to feature requests, but there are actual bugs that are ignored.
Is there maybe some sort of self-hostable php solution like this?
