Well...I'm working on my own thing (FOSS)

https://github.com/calpaterson/quarchive

It's quite early but I'm able to use it as a near replacement for pinboard (including search but not including tags). I have circa 6k bookmarks so I feel your pain.

It's based on sync of your browser bookmarks via an extension. This works well because it allows you to bookmark on your phone.

Here are some features I have planned:

1. Show what pages link to a bookmark

2. Show discussions (HN/Reddit/Lobsters) about a bookmark

3. Full text search (including of PDFs), perhaps including the above discussions

4. The ability to additionally just record everything you browse (including full text)

Right now it works for me but looks a bit basic - I plan to soup up the graphic design once I have the MVP working:

I'm hoping to make it available as a hosted service at some point

If you're interested in this topic, have feature ideas or are even interested in working on it with me either comment here or please send me email - cal@calpaterson.com . I know social bookmarking is not trendy any more but I still use it a lot and pinboard is a bit limited.




I made my own bookmark manager in Django and it's served my needs for years. Your mileage may vary of course. https://github.com/gjost/django-linkpile


why "not including tags"

i derive _so_ much value from having well tagged items in Pinboard.


Tags are planned - they just aren't something I personally use much (I prefer searching) so when trying to stand up a version for my personal use I skipped tags. :)
