Such poor UX? Are you joking right? Pinboard UX is awesome and fast: just straight to the point. Font size is about 13pt: standard; just like HN.

It's actually 13px, which is much smaller than 13pt. 16px (which is slightly smaller than 13pt) is pretty much the standard minimum.

Pinboard is great, but the UX could definitely do with some attention. It annoys me to the extent that one of my pet projects is a better front-end, using its API. As one small example, it's incredibly frustrating that I have to view page source to extract metadata (e.g. title + description) when adding a new URL, rather than pinboard just doing this for me.

I think my bookmark extension extracts at least the title for me.

IIRC one bookmark extension I used used to add whatever text I had highlighted before bookmarking as the description.

How are you adding URLs? The bookmarklet auto-adds the title, and turns any selected text into the description.
I have to zoom HN 125-150% to read it comfortably. It's the only site I have a custom zoom level for.
