#2Why did you start using Pinboard in the first place?
Re: No Longer Posting to Pinboard
#3I’m a huge fan of Pinboard owner’s talk on website obesity [1], and I like the brutal minimalistic look, so I’ve wanted to try it out for a while now. I am having second thoughts now: no responsive styles, even for the one feature your users are likely to be using on the go, is pretty frustrating at least.

#4The design of Pinboard exists in a similar but self hosted service called linkding [1]. I've been self hosting with Docker for a few years with no issues I can recall. Just checked and it does have the responsive forms as well.

#5I think a lot of people write their own bookmarking application in IT. I did. I like Pinboard's lean style; I hope to restyle my application to something similar.

#6> I’ve also had some issues in the past with the owner of Pinboard. I can’t recall the exact details of their political or other thoughts now, and don’t plan to look for them, but the site fell into my mental bucket of “services to reluctantly not recommend” a while back.

This section really makes the author come across as "a hater", specially the last sentence. Like those people you meet that have a problem with everything. I'm being just a hater myself I guess. I never thought I needed to know the politics of the guy who delivers my mail so I also don't really care who made a website. Am I just too careless?

If you spent money on a service you do not really need it matters, or at least it should be easy to see how it might matter. Continuing the payment and usage starts to be something of a social connection or a sign of support. More so if it is a one person enterprise. If it then becomes obvious that support might be misplaced separation is the logical step.
Big organisations are a different thing. And you can't pick your mail guy, plus the mail service is faceless as a whole. But think Tesla, there similar mechanisms make buying a car from them quite unattractive now.

For me, it was a delicio.us replacement

Over one you have agency over the other you don’t.

I would also like there to be an official mobile app for saving links, and browser extensions that actually work and reliably save the pages. I like Maciej, but not adding these in the past like 7 years feels more lazy than minimalistic to me :/.
