Oh dear. I'm a positive newbie here! Found my original receipt; 1st Jan 2015 for the princely sum of $10,60 for lifetime membership. And I only have a measley 1680 links saved.

It's always a gamble with these one-time lifetime offers as you never know if the site's even going to be there in a few months time. But, even if Pinboard folded tomorrow, I'd still consider I got a great bargain.

I must admit my heart sank a bit when I read about the rewrite opening the door to new features. For my uses, Pinboard is pretty much perfect as is [and I've never noticed any problems using it on mobile]. I really hope the developer doesn't start adding loads of extra bells and whistles [read "bloat"] to try and attract new users. I just want my bookmarking service to be boring, reliable and so unintrusive that most of the time I forget it even exists... til I see an article like this on HN.

PS: Off-topic. But I really like the way "maciej" writes. He comes across as a genuinely down-to-earth, self-deprecating and funny guy. Such a refreshing change from all the 'trying-far-too-hard-to-be-hipster-cool' writing out there at the moment.

Having followed Maciej for a couple of years, I seriously doubt he'd ever fall into the trap of feature creep. He's one of the most pragmatic software engineers, if not people, I've ever encountered.

Also possibly the laziest man in north america!

The Russian and German sign-up page still reflects the old price. Story checks out! (Although I was slightly disappointed that it wasn't a fellow Slav discount.)

But with a name like "five nines software" customer expectations should be implicitly tempered ;)

PPS: One of the other things I like about Pinboard [and one of the things that makes it so unobtrusive as to be forgettable --in a good way!] is that it doesn't feel the need to periodically expire my login session. I've probably had to re-log-in under a dozen times across all my various gadgets, over the more than five years I've been using it.

If only more websites were like that!

[Yes I'm looking at you eBay, Amazon et al... who greet me by name, show me what I've bought recently and then ask me to login!]

I think you can rest easy when it comes to new features. Pinboard has a pretty good track record of not changing what works well. The kind of stuff I want to add (ability to filter results by date, easier edit interface for tag gardening, API expansion) will not make the site any less boring.

Out of curiosity, what do you use to store and search bookmarks on mobile? Both the old (third-party) iOS app I used to use and the old macOS app I used to use have stopped working years ago due to neglect. So I use the service pretty sparingly on desktop and pretty much not at all on mobile.

I use Pinner on iOS. While I get the impression it's not actively maintained, it appears to still be working. I use it to store bookmarks from iOS Chrome on a regular basis (did so just earlier and the bookmark is up on Pinboard).

I'm on Android not iOS. But I use the Pinboard app. When I want to save a webpage, I use the "share link" menu [under the browser hamburger menu] to send it to the Pinboard app.

Definitely check out Pinkt for Pinboard [0]. It is a rather new Android Client for Pinboard which is actively maintained and has quite a nice UI - and besides that it is OSS.
