[Request] Some Features and Navigation that have disappeared

[Liz]

Hi Maciej,

I have recommended Pinboard to a voluntary organisation I belong to as they are looking for a quick way to create:

- a public resource of tagged bookmarks and Bookmark Bundled for members

- alongside a private resource of similar for Admins who would share a Log In 

When I was trying to demonstrate how Pinboard worked, I realised that there had been some changes. I don't know of these were deliberate but there now seem to be some features and navigation links missing.

1. Notes Privacy

There is now no option to edit the privacy of a saved note.

2. Notes Page to User Page Navigation

Perhaps my memory at fault and this was never a feature but there is no navigation back from the Notes page to the main User Page.

3. "How To" Page Navigation Link

There is no navigation link to the "How To" Page

4. "Tour" Navigation Link

For Logged-In Users, the only navigation to the "Tour" is an inline link on the "How To Page", which effectively means that there is now no navigation to the Tour Page for logged-in users.

IN ADDITION, THE FOLLOWING HAVE NEVER EXISTED BUT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL

5. Public Profile Navigation Link - never existed

I posted about this in this group in 2014:

https://groups.google.com/g/pinboard-dev/c/FyRTwrMqgf8/m/KuRw_BV0IKEJ

One navigation feature that I requested in that post have been added, ie. to the "Notes Page". So thank you for adding that one.

6. Notes Page Public URL navigation - never existed

This is something else that I mentioned in my 2014 post, ie. 

pinboard.in/u:USERNAME/from:notes/ 

It would be very helpful to have this URL included automatically on the Notes page for information for that User and as a link for that User to be able to copy the link to share with others if they wished to do so.

7. An Easy Way to Export Bookmarks Selectively By Tag

A method has been suggested by another User some time ago in this Group but it is rather complicated.

I hope you can have a look at these issues soon.

Best wishes,

Liz

ps. I have just noticed that 

- the "How To" page and "History" (of recently clicked) have navigation links from my Profile Page when logged in

- the "How To", "Tour" and "Recent" (recently added by all Users) have navigation links from my Profile Page when logged out

It all seems a bit Random :-)

Hi Liz,

I realize this is years later but since you've not received a response I figured I'd jump in.

This is very much part of the use case of why we had to stop using Pinboard and build our own solution. See:

https://linktaco.com/blog/why-pinboard-falls-short-what-we-built-instead.html

One thing to point out is you wouldn't need to share a login with LinkTaco. One account owns the organization and can add collaborators to help manage and see private links/notes, etc.

Also I believe we address all your other issues mentioned here as well. Happy to sponsor your account and that of the NGO/voluntary organization as it seems you're exactly the type of person who'd get the most benefit out of LinkTaco.

Other navigation features that have disappeared:

1. Searches for more than one keyword no longer have "earlier" and "later" links at the bottom

2. Clicking the number of results per page does nothing. You still only get 20 results.
