Hey, I'm having issues with the app and tags.

When entering three tags the last one is missed, unless I press space again but then I get a page with an application error page. Looks like your url mapping is broken as it sends me to /stumble/tag1/tag2,tag3 not /stumble/tag1/tag2/tag3.

I went to your app because I am always using Pinboard to find related interesting things on the web or my network to see what my peers are saving.

Thanks for the bug report! I've uploaded a fix and if you clear your cache you should no longer have that problem.

Just want to say that this is super useful for me. Pinboard is a great bookmarking site to do this with since it's a paid service I find I trust the pin-er more than, say, the average StumbleUpon user. Kudos.

What are you plans for the future / Why won't you give me a way to sign up for future updates and news!?!

Glad to hear you're finding it useful! I was actually surprised how much awesome new content I ran across while developing the site.

I've added a form to let you sign up for updates (which will be infrequent and only for new features).

God I love this. I like browsing the popular pins once in a while when I have time to kill, but it gets kind of boring when it's just a rehash of the HN frontpage or after the 100th jQuery plugin demo page. This has streamlined that kill-time process like crazy. Thank you!

You should put a default value in the input such as interesting so it's easier for first timers to see what you offer.

Good idea! Thanks for the input.

Great idea - I'm definitely going to use this.

Two suggestions: - Could you make it search through a specific users' pinboard.in bookmarks? (e.g. your own, if you have a lot)

- When you press enter/return on the 'tags' input, it doesn't submit the form, but instead adds a new tag. I think it would be more intuitive and similar to existing "tag fields" if enter/return started the search, and you used Space to move to the next tag

I updated the tag input to always submit the current form (adding the in-progress tag). Spaces and commas are used to delimit tags.

I'll add more filtering options in the future for sure! Stumbling through your own pins would be a good source of inspiration I'm thinking.

This is fantastic.

Feature requests --

Having a "popular tag" cloud like on pinboard itself would be a very useful addition.

Listing the tags associated with the page you're currently looking at, so I can find other tags to explore.

philipbjorge5• 13 years ago

Awesome feature requests - I've since added them both!

This is great. Good way to show relevant articles because someone actually went through the effort of bookmarking it hence its usually useful/interesting.
