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

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.

I can't recall ever having a problem pinning stuff from github. Just to sanity check my own memory, I tried it just now. It worked fine.

edit: and this was using the 'popup with tags' bookmarklet from pinboard's howto page [1]

I just tried to pin https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/issues/77 with the popup with tags bookmarklet. I get no response from either it or Delicious' bookmarklet. AFAICR this issue is years old - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866522

"Content Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a resource at self ("script-src https://assets-cdn.github.com https://collector-cdn.github.com")." for me

I think it is a browser specific bug. I use Firefox, and it doesn't work.

This is a frustrating browser bug that, as far as I can tell, is limited to Firefox. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866522

I've been lobbying people to complain about it for years now, as many Pinboard users find it deeply frustrating.

Hi Maciej, I doubt that will ever be fixed. Would you consider hosting a userscript like that mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866522#c38

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.

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

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.

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

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

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