Pinboard is one of those pieces of software that has "just worked" since I first signed on. It's been a surprisingly useful part of my daily life, and the lack of bullshit when using it has been awesome. Also: Maciej is an incredible writer. If you haven't read his blog (<a href="http://idlewords.com/" rel="nofollow">http://idlewords.com/</a>) or his Twitter account (<a href="https://twitter.com/baconmeteor" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/baconmeteor</a>) you really should.
Chalk me up as yet another happy user of Pinboard.<p>I put up with the ridiculously slow Delicious bookmarking for far too long only migrating to Pinboard two years ago.<p>I have about 18k bookmarks on pinboard and speed has not suffered at all. Bookmarking is very fast.<p>About the only criticism would be that search of my bookmark tags seems a bit more primitive than on Delicious.<p>Can I actually search multiple tags (not text) in my bookmarks? For example all bookmarks with hn and programming?
The post ends with "Please don't forget to make backups!"<p>I love Maciej's sense of humor and honesty.<p>Now, to download my bookmarks...
I love Pinboard, it's been the right thing the whole time, with no uncomfortable changes or redesigns.<p>The few extra features I want, I've added myself with userscripts and userstyles, and my own massively customized bookmarklet. The only thing I could want in this regard is some slightly more flexible HTML on Pinboard's pages itself, as it is it can be a bit tough to target certain elements with CSS selectors.
More than anything else, I'm glad something on the scale of Pinboard can exist. Just a man providing a service he built lovingly, to a base of happy customers.<p>> I am a terrible businessman.<p>Only from a certain point of view.
I went to sign up and was very confused by the recurring fee. I fully expected to pay like $25 bucks once by now. I wonder how the one time fee would have looked currently?
Sorry for OT, but could anyone tell me how to pronounce "Maciej"? I usually refer to him as "the pinboard guy" because I'm not sure.
