   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.

• A peculiarity of the X Window System: Windows all the way down

  Another awesome aspect of X11: Xembed. Since it's "windows all the way down" you can have apps (rather than the window manager or root window) be the parent of other app windows. Two nifty examples of this: * https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/ * https://surf.suckless.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• The Ladybird Browser Project

  Don't forget WebKit. It leads to project such as https://surf.suckless.org. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Tampermonkey: Dev Mode will become mandatory for running userscripts in Chromium

  I would assume surf[0], I don't know if suckless has any other browser. [0]: https://surf.suckless.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

  Link leads to 404 Do you mean https://surf.suckless.org ? - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Kera Desktop: open-source, cross-platform, web-based desktop environment

  This is a wonderful project! I've been thinking a lot about making such a unified desktop stack for a while now; web technology has matured to the point where I think it's feasible to build a complete environment a la Smalltalk/Symbolics but with a modern feature set. Obviously this has deficiencies but like it or not the web _is_ computing for the vast majority of people and exploring/pushing its limits of user... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How do you build a landing page?

  A lot of it is just practice, but the most common tools I see used are Tailwind, React, Framer Motion, and Figma. This is a pretty diverse portfolio. Tailwind especially somehow produces a very distinct type of design imo. I'm not sure all this design is good. Homogeneity is boring, and I think the shock value of something like https://pinboard.in can be just as, if not more valuable than all these fancy... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month 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 / 3 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 / 5 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 / 5 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 / 7 months ago
