That is the exact service that came to mind when I saw the words “abandoned” and “enshittification”.

Pinboard is abandoned. Not just in the sense that no new features have been added in years, but in the sense that existing features are actually broken and are not being fixed, despite still accepting money from customers.

I feel obliged to point out that the term 'abandoned' might be misinterpreted here.

I use pinboard every day, have done so for a decade and it works exactly as intended.

The fact that there have been no recent new features troubles me not one jot, my keyboard hasn't had any recent new features either, it just works.

Judging by the last time pinboard was mentioned on HN, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34062802, the 'archive' feature, which is a 'pay extra' feature, causes dissatisfaction amongst some people, I can't comment on that as I don't use it.

Pinboard is run by a single person so if you're a user it would be sensible to use the 'export' function from time to time to allow for the owner getting sick etc.

It's pretty low to take money from people for new signups, while knowing that features are broken for your existing customers and doing nothing to even acknowledge you're aware of it. When it's pointed out here on HN, idlewords (Pinboard owner/operator) just turns up and makes comments mocking everyone and leaves again.

My pinboard account still works fine too but I moved to raindrop.io recently because it's the same thing as Pinboard, done better, with apps, and a dev that cares.

Might not be abanndoned but it's certainly in "fend for yourself" mode.

I pay for archiving and it was broken for a bit. I've emailed him a few times about it and I can say that it is totally working now—like save a bookmark and it's archived same day or sooner.

If you sign up for Pinboard at this point and expect new features, then it's on you. I pay for uptime and maintenance. (Paid in 2010, 11k bookmarks, very satisfied.)
