Interesting, although after reading the first bullet point ("Minimalist design (simple is beautiful)") looking at the screenshots was ... surprising ;)

Definitely not as featureful as something like this, but when Delicious started to go down the pan I switched to a simple Ruby script and a Dropbox-synced data file between all my machines. Several years in, it's still working a treat! "Dropbox + simple script" seems to be a great mechanism for many apps if you don't need easy public access.

I've finally switched to pinboard.in - the browser addons are definitely not as good, though.

sampl• 11 years ago

Also a pinboard user--it's fast, minimal, and reliable. Definitely recommended.

Pinboard is great, the bookmarklet is the only addon I need. It's got one of the best tech communities out there, and it's basically del.icio.us in its heyday. Thank you, Maciej.

Ever tried to pin something on github.com? All the major browsers have disabled bookmarklets that conflict with content security policies.

davewongillies• 11 years ago

If you're using Chrome, I found Pinput to be the best of the bunch: https://github.com/1000ch/pinput

That's some tidy Javascript code. I'm mostly using Firefox these days, unfortunately.

I've been using an osx native app [1], very fast and works on all browsers. (just a happy user)

One more chrome extension recommendation: https://github.com/bertrandom/pinboard-keyboard-shortcut

It overrides the default "add bookmark" shortcut (Ctrl+D/Cmd+D), which is very nice if you have built a habit of pressing that every time you find something interesting.

Looks a lot like Diigo which I am using nowadays. Any advantages to pinboard?

If you're an Alfred user, https://github.com/spamwax/alfred-pinboard is the best way I've found to add links to Pinboard.

Also check out https://bookie.io/

Tepix• 11 years ago

Thanks. I like the fact that it is self-hosted (unlike pinboard)

jtth• 11 years ago

I believe these are called "bookmarks."

Next question is one of federation (delicious, after all, works as a search engine because of multiple user input). It would be really cool to see a world where all these roll-your-own things are starting to connect.

reitoei• 11 years ago

RSS?

orblivion2• 11 years ago

That's good for following, but not searching the world.

By contrast, somehow, Mediagoblin intends to federate in a searchable manner, as I understand. But, I don't know how that's going to work.

fweespeech• 11 years ago

If you are interested in drawing attention, I'd suggest maybe hosting a cheap demo version on like a $5 DO instance for people to play with. ;)

anjanb• 11 years ago

After leaving delicious, I've been using google bookmarks(https://www.google.co.in/bookmarks/). Isn't anyone else using it ? If anyone has tried using google bookmarks, how would you compare it with pinboard.in ?

benoliver999• 11 years ago

I used this for a long time and really liked it. It's very easy to set up and works great.

fbartels• 11 years ago

The project has not been updated for quite some time by the original author, but luckily there is a quite active fork on Github (including a public demo): https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli

mrgris• 11 years ago

sorry but Shaarly is the best choice, free, secure, légé, taxonomy, rss feeds and private bookmarks by tag. And a simple shared hosting is enough.
