https://pinboard.in/ is a thing that would work great on Nostr: it's personal and social at the same time. You collect links that interest you and add comments for yourself, but with enough people doing that it creates a hivemind of potentially interesting content.
The only requirement is that it is blazingly simple and fast for managing your stuff.
Well, can you make it for Nostr then dad?
hopefully the nostr version of pinboard will be created by someone less ideological and less completely insane that the original 😂
I wish I could build it myself 🚀
I suck at organinzing my stuff and finding new things anymore. Sounds like an awesome idea for the hivemind... been trying to use hoarder which is self-hosted and FOSS. Maybe one of you super smart awesome people could tie in nostr to that project 🌟
Sounds very similar to what Delicious was back in the early 2000s, which I loved
Yeah, Maciej, Joshua, and I all worked together at Yahoo back in 2007-2008 along with a bunch of other super interesting folks like Stewart Butterfield / Cal / and others who created Slack... Kellan and Chad who ended up running and taking Etsy public, Ed Ho who became VP Eng of Twitter, Pasha who created Polyvour... anyway it was a really creative group of folks... but all this is to say pinboard was created because Maciej was upset about what Yahoo was doing to delicious and then eventually years later pinboard acquired delicious from yahoo.
whoever makes this, just don't name it pinstr, please.
https://linkwarden.app/ needs to be nostrified for a social layer
Time to revive Pinstr and rebuild it from the ground? 👀🫡
I've 'pinned' over 26,000 links in pinboard over the years: https://pinboard.in/u:rabble/
I think the trick is the product structure around it. Pinboard is a replacement for del.icio.us ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website) ) which ironically enough pinboard years latter acquired.
The trick with both is really good browser integration, via a bookmarklet/browser extension. Then add to that a social layer which made discovery and sharing easy. Plus the creators Joshua and Maciej are in themselves pretty big old bloggers, so they had an audience of fans to start using it.
In case you haven't read it, Maciej's blog has amazing essays. https://idlewords.com/
I totally think we could make a pinboard site in Nostr, the tech is easy. The getting folks to use it and making the flow very easy would be more tricky. I think if you added each page you pinn'ed to a personal RAG enhanced LLM then you do some super interesting things. If you used one of the open source LLM's like Mistral/Deepseek/Llama you could do it in a privacy preserving way.
Any, it's a good idea.
Does pinboard do web archiving as well? If I remember correctly it does not. So paywalls and linkrot are still issues...
We're decentralizing the Wayback Machine with a p2p network of unstoppable web archives. Hop in.
Pinboard does archiving if you pay the extra fee.
I don't understand how people think they can provide web archiving without charging. All I wanted was a service that archived pages on my behalf for a reasonable (i.e. very cheap) price.
And then they could make those pages public and combine payments from multiple sources in order to keep the archive alive, so more popular pages would be easier to keep archived for everybody.
You're right - nobody can provide archiving without charging (at least not without a hidden cost _somewhere_, including censorship).
In the system my company is building, you would either bring your own hosting (in your closet, on your desktop, whatever), or pay a cloud provider for the same. Our stack is open source.
We've run the numbers and it looks like you'll be able to do a _lot_ of archiving for quite cheap.
Then once n individuals are paying for their own archives, they can opt to network together over a peer-to-peer network to share their archives with eachother (or perhaps even charge for access to some of them)
Might also make sense to extend it with a web archiving component that stores the website contents either as webarchive or pdfs.

Great, but why have this many features like DM, Trending Notes...
Make more sense be only Pin it option, no? Thanks.
I just built https://pinja.in in 2 hours with Osty! Imagine how fast we could build a brand-new Nostr application if I added some AI to it!
😂😂
