My account has 1bout 4000 bookmarks. I noticed that the New/Recent/Private lists are limited to items back to Feb 2013, I don't see anything prior to that. I have reached out to Pinner support but I was wondering if there is a throttle/limitation in the Pinboard API which restricts clients from fetching the entire list of bookmarks for a user. Any idea? Thanks </pre> VANJ 2013-05-20T14:55:21 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1433 <pre>I import tweets and favorites from Twitter to Pinboard. Pinboard removes the URL from the flow of the text, which typically results in a choppy, senseless description. Sample tweet: “I just visited example.com and it was great." Resulting Pinboard description for example.com: “I just visited and it was great”. It’s be better to leave the text of the tweet as-typed, URL and all. </pre> Michal Migurski 2013-05-19T16:18:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1432 <pre>Here's my *problem*: Sometimes when I research a topic, I turn into a maniac and open a lot of URLs. To save them to Pinboard, currently I have 2 available options: 1) Save them as a tab set, BUT I can't add notes or tags or search them with a keyword (I think tab sets are only suited for cases when you don't have time to close read and not suited for research scenarios such as mine); 2) Save them individually as normal bookmarks with a common tag signifying the research topic, BUT it is very tedious and if I want to refer to them later, I have to select the assigned tag to get a full view of all these bookmarks (and their notes). My *suggestion*: Along with bookmarks, notes, and tab sets, let's have a 4th category:*grouped bookmarks *, where one can batch save urls just like tab sets but has the added option to assign notes and tags to each url in the set. Grouped bookmarks should display in the* normal stream* of bookmarks, unlike tab sets tugged away separately. A button can be added to * c</pre> Zhang Jun 2013-05-16T04:32:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1431 <pre>Hello. I'm strongly considering joining Pinboard as it seems a better option to me when compared to Delicious (or whatever it became during the last few years). I read the whole features overview page and noticed the auto-suggest tags feature seems to be based solely on my own bookmarks. I also searched through this forum but couldn't find any similar suggestions. So, here it goes... One feature that used to work very well on Delicious (some good few years ago though) was that it also analyzed *public* bookmarks from other users to come up with suggestions when adding/editing your own. I assumed it based suggestions on identical bookmarks and possibly from the same domain as well. I understand Pinboard is WAY more concerned with privacy but it seems to me that that in this case there's no issue at all as users are able to mark both bookmarks and tags as private. This feature is one of the very reasons why "social bookmarking" has benefits when compared to private. Anyway, just wanted to ask </pre> Carlos K. 2013-05-15T21:11:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1429 <pre>When I search for a tag I don't get the "related tags" in the sidebar to refine my search.

I recently changed my previously inconsistent tagging system for easier organization (for instance, "f:dccomics" and "dcu" are now renamed to "fandom:dcu"), and now I'm finding that every tag I've used in the past is eligible to show up in my suggested tags list. So, now, when I go to bookmark something Batman related, my suggested tags list will look like: "batman c:batman char:batman character:batman dcu f:dcu fandom:dccomics fandom:dcu ...", even though most of those tags are no longer in my tag list. I can see the advantages of remembered tag suggestions for, say, someone who uses their pinboard for to-do items and deletes bookmarks often, but for my part, I'd like to be able to tell pinboard to 'forget' my deleted tags.

Also, just want to let you know that I absolutely love your service - even better than the original delicious. Thank you very very much.

My retweets are intermittently truncated. I retweeted this to bookmark it. https://twitter.com/ChicagoCDO/status/329605205647835137 It was bookmarked as t.co. https://pinboard.in/u:sky/b:93ff25b767f2 Since I often miss that this has happened, when I go back to find the real link, I may not find the original tweet. This makes me think it might be useful to bookmark the permalink to the tweet as well. I prefer first to have the untruncated links if possible. -- sheila </pre> sheila miguez 2013-05-01T15:17:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1419 <pre>I'd love to be able to use Pinboard to privately share links within my company. In particular: - Have a team consisting of a group of individual users - Share bookmarks public, private or with a specific team (or several teams) - Be able to browse everything available to a team by tag - See a feed of new links that have been added to teams I am a member of I found a thread from back in 2011 mentioning this https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pinboard-dev/1Gdx-uhs6mI/dga_ijNoVWEJ - any news since then?

I've only been on Pinboard for a week, but I'm a member of fandom so I already have 109 bookmarks and 138 tags. Now, on top of this, I also have realized that if I saved recipes here it would be about nine billion times more useful than the bookmarks in my Firefox. The only problem is that my OCD cries at the thought of chicken caprese recipes thrown in randomly among my fic, and "cook-time:~1hour" tags between my "wc:5k-10k" on my right-hand side. If there were some way that we could have folders, so that our fannish things can be in their own neat place and our other geekery can be in another without having to buy a second account or using Delicious, I think that would be awesome. </pre> Charlee Mided 2013-04-17T16:26:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1385 <pre>Hi, m.pinboard.in does not seem to know anything about the privacy lock.

Case in point: most of my bookmarks are public, but I also use my Pinboard account for non-social bookmarking. For instance, all my bookmarks under * /t:christmas_shopping* are private, because I don't want my friends to see what I'm getting them for Christmas. It would be convenient if I could just set it up so that when I add a bookmark tagged *christmas_shopping*, it is automatically added as private. The same thing would be useful for other situations in which people use Pinboard for both public and private purposes--say, someone who has both fandom bookmarks and bookmarks related to themselves and their location. People could set up a specific tag to automatically keep identifying information private, while leaving other bookmarks public by default.

I'm reasonably sure it was at one point an official bookmarklet, although it's no longer on the Pinboard howto page. Anyone know why it doesn't work anymore? The code for it is: javascript:location.href='http://pinboard.in/url?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href) </pre> loud stranger 2013-04-14T11:47:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1375 <pre>1. "Pocket" (which I don't use because it doesn't archive) and even the base Firefox bookmark/favorite system, uses a small icon which changes color when a page has been bookmarked before (the Pocket logo and the Star respectively) - this allows you to see whether the page has been bookmarked already in the past and is added. But Pinboard doesn't have such a feature - so when a page is visited, you can't tell if it's already been added to Pinboard in the past - you can either try to check, or more easily, you can just add it again since Pinboard ignores duplicates. But I find this cumbersome - it would be easier if Pinboard just changed the color of the toolbar icon to let you know the page is already bookmarked. 2. Also like the Pocket/Firefox solution - I use the 'read later' bookmarklet because I like 1-click adding without slowing me down. But I think Pinboard has a bit of improvement to make due to the bookmarklet using a small popup as it adds the bookmark - this is minor but i</pre> thecommissar 2013-04-04T16:54:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1374 <pre>When working my way through new bookmarks, I use the Organize feature, which shows me the bookmarked page. But recently, I've a feeling that more often (one in every 50 bookmark or so) preview is not working. Instead, I just see a blank page. medium.com is a site that has this problem frequently, a bookmark for https://medium.com/architecting-a-life/c8c504b17df6 as one example. What's causing this?

Thanks! </pre> Danny DeBelius 2013-04-04T14:04:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel/1372 <pre>I find the lack of an indicator that a page has been added to Pinboard difficult to deal with because I often visit a page a second time, and forget whether it was added to Pinboard already or not (the 'star' icon in, for example, Firefox, tells you that the page you're on is already bookmarked/favorite-ed), but with Pinboard, I can't tell if it's added (so instead of checking, because Pinboard ignores duplicates, I just click the read later bookmarklet and add it again). But of course this is slightly annoying since if I could visually confirm a page was already added, I wouldn't have to wonder about it, and click it again. I don't know how this could be implemented - but in terms of visual recognition, even just changing the color of the Pinboard toolbar icon would be sufficient - this is what "Pocket" does for instance - by changing the logo color (and being one-click bookmark to begin with.) While the Pinboard 'Read Later' bookmarklet is good since it's one-click only, I do find the sma</pre> thecommissar 2013-04-04T16:46:03 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.web.pinboard.devel
