Show HN: Pushpin, an iOS client for Pinboard, is now open source

8 pointsby theli0nheart3 months ago
Just wanted to share that I just open-sourced Pushpin today under the GPLv3 license.<p>I&#x27;ve been building it since 2012 and it&#x27;s become one of the most popular iOS clients for Pinboard [0] [1] [2].<p>It hasn&#x27;t gotten a large update in quite a while, but it still runs perfectly on the latest iOS and iPad OS devices. Enjoy!<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pinboard.in&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pinboard.in&#x2F;</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thesweetsetup.com&#x2F;apps&#x2F;best-pinboard-app-ios&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thesweetsetup.com&#x2F;apps&#x2F;best-pinboard-app-ios&#x2F;</a><p>[2]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;toolsandtoys.net&#x2F;pushpin-for-pinboard&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;toolsandtoys.net&#x2F;pushpin-for-pinboard&#x2F;</a>

Nice. I am a fellow &quot;more than a decade&quot; maintainer of an app, and it&#x27;s been fun. Some questions come to mind.<p>- Do you have some sort of community around the app?<p>- Do you have a steady (or maybe dwindling) stream of feedback?<p>- Any power users?<p>- Have you tried to reinvent the app in any way? (My app is on the third &quot;sequel&quot; where each one gathered some renewed interest).<p>- What made you open source it? Do you feel like you&#x27;re &quot;letting it go&quot; by open sourcing it? (I could imagine myself feeling this way).

Where did you share the code? You didn&#x27;t include a link.<p>Great job with Pushpin. It was the only extension which worked semi-reliably on iOS. Sad that it wasn&#x27;t viable.
