Ask HN: Pinboard.in alternatives?

Very early adopter of the service here... But simply tired of some things related to it:

— Chrome extension consistently failing to perform as it should

— Too much downtime, too many performance issues

— Pretty much no new features... ever

I've emailed Maciej about turning this into a subscription business (to support development, vs one lifetime payment) but he doesn't seem interested.

I would love another, more expensive but better and more reliable service for saving my precious bookmarks.

This is really my extended brain and I go back to stuff I save multiple times every single day... I want it to be great!

Does anyone have suggestions, please? Thanks!

If you want it really fast, and as reliable as your local machine, have you considered storing your data locally, e.g. in a plain HTML file, sticking that in a git repo and uploading it to github?

For new subscribers it's already subscription-based. Only old-timers like us paid a one-time fee.

What are you missing? For me it does everything I need. And it has a pleasantly reduced/no-frills look.

Sorry, I don't know of a good alternative, as Pinboard does the trick for me, but if I had to think of something new, I'd really consider going a service-less way.
