Ask HN: Pinboard Archiving Working for You?

5 points·Tomte··5 comments

I've had major Pinboard archiving trouble over months and months in the past, with no satifying resolution. So I had let the archival membership run out.

Recently I resubscribed, but alas, archival is again not working. At 85% of my bookmarks archival seems to have stopped.

Do all of you Pinboard users on HN not have any problems with it? Am I just the outlier?

I left Pinboard several years ago after it went down for days and the maintainer didn't do anything about it.

I switched to Diigo, but its archival service stopped working in the last year or so.

I'm currently using Bookmark Ninja which is fine but doesn't include archiving.

I've been building devmarks.io on the side for the past few months which automatically syncs GitHub stars, Twitter likes, Hacker News favorites, and Pinboard.in bookmarks into one central location. Bookmarks can also be added manually. I also retrieve extra metadata for developer-centric sites (think: number of forks and stars from GitHub repos, version numbers from PyPI, publish date from dev.to articles, etc). I also have a beta version of bookmark archive working to store readable content of URLs. I'd love for you to try devmarks.io out and see how it works for you and if you send me feedback I'll hook you up with a free lifetime plan.

I'd imagine you're an outlier on HN by using Pinboard. It seems to get a lot of hate here since it ranks so highly on Google search and the results are mostly garbage.

I think you are thinking of Pinterest?

Yes! I was thinking of Pinterest. I completely misread the OP. I can't delete my comment unfortunately.
