I don't use pinboard but I have seen enough posts on HN now complaining about lack of response from Pinboard to paying users. I know it is run by 1 person and he clearly doesn't care. Try and move on if you can.

This is the perfect review. "I never read your book, but people on here say you don't enjoy writing."

That extra money really helped with development, didn’t it? At this point that email is starting to seem dishonest.
Truly I don't want to give him MORE money just to get my data out of there. It feels like a slap in the face after a slap in the face. Definitely taught me some lessons about the naive thinking of leaning in on indie projects.
It's hard for me to fathom why people continue to pay for a service, whose founder time and time again shown that providing a good service is least of his priority. It took me four emails and two DMs just for him to acknowledge that there was a problem back in 2019.

Because there's no alternative service to choose from.
Raindrop.io is aggressively priced for all that it provides (I have switched from pinboard to this, and it is a near 1:1 replacement). In fact, it provides features such as highlighting / annotation that Pinboard.in will never implement.
Wallabag, Linkding, and Archivebox are three selfhosted options that come to mind, that serve similar purposes.
Anybox [1] is a great replacement if you are in the Apple ecosystem. Raindrop [2] is another alternative that a lot of people seem to enjoy. I tried many alternatives to Pinboard and like AnyBox best so far. [1] https://anybox.app/ [2] https://raindrop.io/
Signed up for raindrop now. Wondering what happens if the solo dev gets ill, but as long as I backup it has to be better than pinboard has become.

The best part of pinboard is that there is none of this... stuff.

POLL: Should I step down as head of Pinboard? I will abide by the results of this poll.
It’s up to you.
