Great effort already! I would love to use an open source Pinboard-esque system: as simple and powerful as possible.
That said, as a power user on del.icio.us and then Pinboard:
- I should be able to put every single non-control Unicode character in a tag. Basically, they should be arbitrary UTF-8 bytes. So backslash, less than, smiley, omega, non-breaking space and the like. The only difficulty with this is making sure the markup is properly escaped.
- Personally I'm not a fan of separate flags like "unread", and the only one I've ever used is the "private" flag (which shouldn't be implemented using just tags - just consider someone tagging "privat" and not realizing the bookmark isn't private). First, tags are perfect for this use case, and gives a lot more freedom to implement whatever hacks I want, like "tosee"/"unwatched" for videos, "at:chapter-3" to mark progress, and the like. Second, it is a different axis along which bookmarks are accessed, orthogonal to the tags. Which means different mechanisms for grouping, sorting, searching, etc. just for this one flag.

Glad you think it's promising. There is still some distance to go - it needs a second pass over some of the (pretty rough) features.
Regarding tags: I am not sure I completely agree with you how easy it will be to remove all the current limits on tags but I do share your sentiment and I have filed the matter as a github issue: https://github.com/calpaterson/quarchive/issues/67 . I can't promise any priority because as this is a side project I can only work at my own pace but I foresee it happening "soon" - just that my main task right now is showing what I have to people and getting feedback.
On the unread flag: you're probably right. That was implemented before tags were, in order to allow for importing my own bookmarks from pinboard (I personally do not use tags).
Private flags: as a usability matter, yes. But my plan is to allow for more fine-grained sharing/permissions (the MVP of which is the current share feature).
Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate the time you took to try it out and leave your comments. Do keep in touch over email! [email protected]

I use EverSync to synchronize my bookmarks across multiple computers and multiple web browsers. Works pretty well! I like having the same bookmarks in Firefox as I do in Chrome.
The founder had great ideas. Too bad they merged into YahoO.

So... anything new with this? Has the site finally been resurrected?
I never had an account :( but always wanted to go through all the publicly listed bookmarks. The site's not really allowed that for years.
EDIT: PSA, site is experiencing hug of death, so just FWIW, it only contains a Web 1.99-styled login form.

Kind of amazed that my 15 year old account still works.
I had an account on pre-Yahoo!-purchase, and I vaguely remember that the login was merged with or replaced by the Yahoo! login system. Sadly, I either can't remember the former or it was supplanted by the latter and is now inaccessible to me.
Bummer. I hope the password reset works for me when it's finished. I found my first PG essays through del.icio.us, so it's probably responsible for my being on HN now. I'd love to dig through the old links hyping "folksonomy" and AJAX. :)

I can't remember my login!!!

there's a bot resharing ffffound content on the fediverse.

Why was this posted? This is just a post to the front page of the site, and there is no context given. Why? What's the point? That this site exists? That something happen? Even the "Relevant" comment by dewey is a reference to something that happened almost 4 years ago. So please. Why do we do this?
Can't we put a modicum of effort and stop just posting link to what effectively is a login page for del.icio.us.

Probably because it was dead, and yesterday or so Maciej put it up again (but read-only), so it's kind of undead now.
This is one of the things I sometimes dislike from this site when it happens. It's not so difficult to explain what the link is about even if I personally know what del.icio.us is/was about. More so while the webpage is down since it's been in the frontpage.
yes, kinda lame to post either before there's any news/blog about it or without a clearer ask about it's status
That being said for anyone keeping up on these things there was an update over the course of last year that said it would be back (it was offline/there was no login page for years) so this appears to be new.

what is dead my never die
oh wait, it's dead again
oh wait, it's dead again
seems to be going very slowly to not at all for me.
Not complaining, I'll be very happy to see my old bookmarks once it's up and running solidly.

I do wonder how much "social capital" comes along with a famous name when it gets used for something else.
Anyone remember Napster? They were convinced launching it as a legal service would be a huge success just because of the name. Didn't happen.

Good memories to the time i start with web development in 2002/2003 and saw this site was created.
It is just the del.icio.us login box for me. Was something different?
random -- you just decided to load up the url to see what was there one day? or did you get a tip it was coming online again finally
This would be the announcement/post that should have been submitted here

If you remember your login and there are actually all that many links that are still live.
I personally find pinboard useful but I suspect the number of people who actively research and curate content is pretty small.

I liked pinboard a lot but I got tired of using wonky browser extensions and having to bookmark the thread I found a link from as a semi-duplicate.
I'd love any feedback people have for me, I've only shown it to a small number of people so far.
