A Pinboard user here. When I signed up I hoped there would be nice browser integration but it's just not there. UX for me is just rubbish compared to native bookmarking or to even old delicious extensions. Honest question, why Pinboard is any better than using integrated Chrome bookmarks sync feature? (ignoring the archive feature of Pinboard)

Hm, would you expand on what you disliked about the integration? You're using the bookmarklet, right? I just click on "pin this" whenever I want to save the current webpage, and click on "my pinboard" whenever I want to look for a bookmark. The killer feature for me is being able to type in a description for each bookmark, because later on you can search by any word in that description. I've given up on tagging anyth…

That's interesting, I've almost given up on typing descriptions and instead have a very large number of tags that I pull up quickly with the autocomplete. It's funny how our use has gone in opposite direction. Pinboard is great for me, and I like the spartan, but functional, UI.

I will gladly pay and in the future keep paying whatever is asked to keep this service running. I get so much value out of pinboard - personally and professionally - that I've felt that I've definitely underpaid relative to value received. I currently have 4,206 articles across 924 tags, accumulated over the past several years. In Nir Eyal's terms, webpages are now a trigger to use the service, which yields pretty hi…

43,000 bookmarks and 15,000 tags over 4 years. Sometime I wonder if I'm bookmarking too much.

Yes I do, it's slow to load, there is no search from the browser (which is a show stopper for me), it's not as good as "Ctrl + D" kind of bookmarking that you have in Chrome.

And if it's not adding anything on to the bookmarking and comes with a worse UX, why bother?
