Is it possible to download all the pages that were saved/cached? I've e-mailed sup...@pinboard.in twice now in the last month with no response.

An excellent question. I tried to do so some 6 months ago and never got the notification of/link to download the files, and have since been using other tools to backup cached copies of my bookmarks.

I love Pinboard and intend to keep using it while it's still usable, but I do have serious concerns about its long-term sustainability and am continuing to look at other options. Raindrop.io isn't bad from a saving content standpoint, and I understand Evernote is similar, but they aren't nearly as good (imo) at using an organized tag system to manage a large and growing library of bookmarks.

I've been able to successfully export my list of bookmarks - no issues there. It includes the URL and a summary. What I'm looking for however, is a way to download the cached pages that pinboard saves. To my knowledge, there is no way to do this.

It seems that Maciej has stopped development of pinboard, which is unfortunate.

I'm pretty sure there's an option to download the cached pages - it's supposed to send you an email when it's ready to download and warns you that it might take a long time depending on the amount of storage used. I'm pretty sure that's separate from the ability to export the list of bookmarks itself.

I'll look later and see if I can confirm what I'm remembering.
