Show HN: My pinboard-backed link blog

This is interesting, I'm also using Pinboard (with some custom ruby code for caching) to power my fairly popular Bootstrap links page [1].<p>Pinboard has been awesome for this and a few other projects where I use it as a sort of URL import / processing queue. I have a specific set of tags that trigger different actions for the different services, things like taking a screenshot of a URL or posting the link to Twitter via IFTTT (which has good Pinboard support).<p>1 - <a href="http://www.bootstraphero.com/the-big-badass-list-of-twitter-bootstrap-resources" rel="nofollow">http://www.bootstraphero.com/the-big-badass-list-of-twitter-...</a>

Sort of off topic, but I wish there was a better tool for pinboard user discovery. I love the self-selection bias of pinboard in that it's highly tech and the popular links are right up my HN/nerdy alley, but I'm starting to really enjoy the "network" view with the 6 or so people I follow. Trying to parse the list of user profiles for interesting folks at random is way too time consuming.<p>Anyway, I''m following you now, so there's the super tangential tieback. And nice work!

A lot of recent entries from your Pinboard timeline seem to be missing, including your most recent bookmark. Are you sure the list is being updated every 15 minutes?

That's fairly cool. Is there an actual pinboard.in API available these days, or did you just hack something together? I haven't checked pinboard.in in a while.<p>I had built <a href="http://data.idleworx.com/DeliStream/" rel="nofollow">http://data.idleworx.com/DeliStream/</a> a while ago to pull streaming data from delicio.us. Might be time I updated it to pinboard.in (something similar to your project but more real-time and from all users).

Pardon but I don't see a point in paying a service to gather/amass links which you don't own in the first place. So I have no idea why service like pinboard exist which charges you to gather other people's URLs.<p>A tumbler blog is sufficient enough in letting you gather links, quotes, videos, etc, etc, and it is free and fast.

I do a similar thing on my site, filtered by a couple tags I find the most interesting:<p><a href="http://tanmade.com/reading/publishing.html" rel="nofollow">http://tanmade.com/reading/publishing.html</a>

Michael, aside from the interesting link blog, your nyu.edu links in the design section are dead. Otherwise, all is working well in Chrome64 25.0.1364.97.
