I dropped pinboard.in recently. The interface hasn't had improvements in years, the extensions are all third party, and the API if you wanted to build your own is pretty limiting. The mobile interface is pretty poor too.

I'm now moved over the Raindrop.io[1], which is another solo-developer outfit, but has had a lot of work put into it. It does all the same stuff Pinboard does (including page archiving but beside the social and public directory things... which nobody uses), but has a bunch of additional features. It has a much more complete API, a well maintained extension, and mobile apps! Definitely worth giving a go.

I've been paying for Raindrop for a few years and its organisation capabilities are really good: tags, collections, folders, search, etc. All in a quite polished UI!
I second this. Saving links for future reference is a very important part of my daily browsing, and I have found nothing better than Raindrop.
I’ve moved to raindrop too. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty great, and it gets pretty frequently bug fixes and feature releases.
Agreed it's much better service, I've been really enjoying it.

One feature I recently learned was Highlights [1]

You can select a passage of text on the page, then when bookmarked, it'll save the selected text. Allows for multiple highlights. And then visiting the page in the future those texts clips will then be highlighted again.
