I really like Pinboard and Maciej but Pinboard feels forgotten.

Even the Pinboard blog URL [0]he linked to in his leaving Twitter tweet[1]is showing the Apache Default page to me.

I know there are a couple of good mobile apps for Pinboard but I’d much prefer just being able to use the site on mobile

I agree. I was using Pinboard for a long time but with the pricing changes and lack of support, I switched to self-hosting LinkAce (https://www.linkace.org).

When's the last time you tried that? Sometime in the past year ish (can't remember exact dates), it got updated to scale properly on narrow screens, and I've had no problem using it on mobile since then.

Using it on an iPhone 12 Mini-Firefox and the “Add Bookmark” screen is a tiny form in an ocean of white emptiness.

I rarely add links on mobile so I'd forgotten that was still an issue, my use case is mostly searching/browsing my own existing bookmarks
On iPhone I use an app[1] for a nicer experience.
