Pinboard user since 2012 here, after importing about 12k bookmarks from Delicious (17k now). It's the best kind of low tech service: It's all about bookmarking, not ads or gimmicks. The UI loading time seems O(1) rather than Delicious' O(n).

The only problem now is that there doesn't seem to be a working add-on for Firefox on Android. Does anyone know of one?

I'm using firefox on android too but I use PinDroid to create new bookmarks and access existing ones. It's well integrated in firefox and can be used with any other application through the android "share" function.
Wow neat, thanks for this. I was just looking for extensions for some reason. It's on F-droid as well if that's preferred. Pretty slick.

How do you use pinboard? I use bookmarklet and it seems to take 2-3 seconds to load with predicted tags.
For Firefox keyboard junkies I simplified the bookmarklet so that I can type 'pi tag1 tag2 ...' from the address bar and it will save a 'to read' bookmark i.e. private bookmark with the title of page and the tags.

Obviously you could use anything for the 'pi' keyword - that is just the keyword for the bookmark.

This is the 'location' that I use:

`javascript:q=location.href;p=document.title;void(t=open('https://pinboard.in/add?later=yes&noui=yes&jump=close&url='+...();`
