Oh, ok, sorry. I misunderstood. I figured that if I found it non-
obvious, that meant it was non-obvious. But since you find it simple,
that means it's simple.

If I didn't have to go looking for it, then it wouldn't need to be
documented or found. I guess, once again, the core of my
misapprehension was assuming that making a distinction between system-
generated tags and other tags, and having users plunge into settings,
after checking documentation, to deal with the former, was "less
obvious" than having all tags be tags (or, at least, letting search
and other elements find and manipulate tags equally). But I guess it's
precisely as obvious. Because it is to you.

feature request

hi, i think that add a "my blog" link on top beside the subscribe link
when we see other people's bookmarks would be nice. so we can know
more about the people who saved these bookmarks.

Feature Request: Show bookmark in timeline

I frequently bookmark several related pages in a row, but am not very
disciplined about tagging them usefully so that I can associate them
later. It would be very useful to me if each bookmark in the search
results had a link to show it in the timeline, so that after finding
it I could see the context in which it had been saved.

<nerd>

While I was thinking about this I did a little experiment. I pulled my
bookmarks down from the JSON export and loaded them into a database I
had handy (duplicated 1000x to ~3.5M bookmarks to provide a better
test). Then I wrote a short SQL query[*] which finds the bookmark 10
items newer than the target (chosen by timestamp under the assumption
that bookmark ids are not sequential) and extracts the epoch to
generate a /before: link. It runs in <30ms on my little MacBook Air,
which seems like a good first attempt. I don't know what the pinboard
database schema looks like, presumably something similar is possible.

[*] select extract(epoch from time) from bookmark where user_id=1 and
time > '2011-05-01 00:00:00' order by id desc limit 1 offset 9;

</nerd>

Re: Feature Request: Show bookmark in timeline

Hi Damon,

Thanks for the great suggestion.  As a quick workaround, I've added a
'view in context' link to the bookmark detail page, which you can
reach by clicking the bookmark date.  It will link to the appropriate
page in your bookmarks with the selected one on top.  This isn't as
convenient as what you describe, but should get you part of the way
there.

I'll implement this more nicely when time allows.

Best regards,

Maciej

Re: feature request

There's a "public profiles" feature in the works for people who'd like
to share this kind of information about themselves.

Tag negation

Is there any way to construct a URL that gives you posts NOT marked with a particular tag? E.g. something like

 http://pinboard.in/u:use/t:foo/nt:bar

which would return all posts with tag foo AND NOT tag bar.

Re: Tag negation

Re: Tag negation

There's no way to do this right now. I'm working on a syntax that will
allow on the search page.

Bug of the month club

It's that time again to nominate bugs that you find particularly
annoying.  I'll try to squash as many as I can.

Re: Bug of the month club

This is more of an enhancement (and may have been fixed since I
complained) but I'd like to see stuff from foursquare (filter based on
the twitter client name?) filtered from being imported from twitter.
