   I will like it and I also recommend others to follow this platform. But there is no direct relationship with customers, high operating costs and no control over the refund policy

   🏁 Competitors: eBay

   👍 Pros:    Best customer support|best ui experience|easy to order and tracking

   Nice shopping experience with Amazon

   Amazon has best shopping experience with us. Everything in this platform is very nice. It provides best shopping experience in India, has provides biggest selections of products, books, software reach and shows best movies, latest podcasts music and everything is nice for us. I like Amazon and also refer others to follow that platform. But there is no direct customer relationship, has high operations cost and there is no control over return policies.

   🏁 Competitors: Flipkart, Myntra, Alibaba, eBay

   👍 Pros:    Best online shopping app in india|Best customer support|Best ui experience|Easy to order and tracking

   👎 Cons:    No control over return policies|No direct customer relationship|High operation costs|No opportunity for branding

   Simple but effective

   While all the other bookmarking sites have died, pinboard.in remains and is a reliable and handy place to save all those links you love but are sure to otherwise forget.

• Need a good decaf and regular tea in the US?

  The voltage of mains electricity in the USA is half that of the UK, which effectively caps the power of appliances (at least those not plugged into a separate high voltage circuit). Search for fast boil kettles on amazon.co.uk and you'll get a range of 3000W options to choose from, search for the same on amazon.com and you'll return 1500W results. Source: 5 months ago

• Just a bit of a rant but what the fuck?? I was hoping for a price drop bit instead it sky rocket? Im such an idiot i couldve bougth it at 251 but instead was waiting for it to drop and this shit happens FML why why why why

  Are you using you using your regions version of amazon? Check amazon.com its almost always cheaper and right now I can get the card delivered to new Zealand for 232 euros. Source: 5 months ago

• Where are the best/cheapest places to shop?

  I do amazon.com and .ca (I mostly only buy if it's shipped & sold by amazon or atmost shipped by so I can track/refund easier) as well as hlj but shipping and handling usually ends up costing more than the kits I'm buying lol... Source: 5 months ago

• What the Google overlords don't want you to see

  I mean, if you try to search for something simple like "buy flashlight", you get like 15 amazon.com results on the first page. So if you're trying to find a quality product from a company that specializes in making just that particular thing, so you can avoid all the Chinese sellers on amazon, you sometimes can't. Ever since I've learned about how shitty the work conditions were at amazon, I have tried to avoid... Source: 5 months ago

• Where to buy German-language books in USA

  Also check kindle unlimited for German titles. If they are KU in Germany they usually are as well in the US. You use your US account on amazon.com to then read german literature. If the genre you are interested in has a category, scroll down the sidebar, you might see german as well. Source: 5 months ago

• Show HN: Personal Knowledge Base Visualization

  You might get lucky and find a NLP expert's bookmarks on https://pinboard.in. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• I Miss Human Curation

  The list of text links is basically what https://pinboard.in is, basically - social bookmarking. I only use it privately, but it does have the exact function you're talking about as well. I don't think I would use it with thumbnail previews, since I like how lightweight it is, but it wouldn't be difficult to build something like that. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Linkhut: A Social Bookmarking Site

  Delicious[1] was delicous, and Pinboard[2] is just there. Not into bookmarks that much except for less than 10 significant websites. I might look at ArchiveBox[3] or something like it to bookmark and take a snapshot. Again, none of them as important as it used to be. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website) 2. https://pinboard.in 3. https://archivebox.io. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• The Small Website Discoverability Crisis

  I'm using a similar service - https://pinboard.in to both managing my own bookmarks and to browse other users' public bookmarks of interest by tag or using built-in search functionality. Quite useful imo. I do remember so-called "Web Rings" and still think they were a nice idea (among others, passed away), and it seems to me, del.icio.us and then pinboard.in are one of a few options we still have to make smaller... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• After more than 20 years, I published my first dirty project

  The categories of RSS feeds from my bookmarks service, Pinboard, were all concatenated to a single string instead of being displayed separately. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
