BTW great job on 1.8 release.

I just became aware of

I just became aware of Pinboard today. I have left a comment on the TechCrunch post, asked in IRC, and emailed the creator of Pinboard :-)

By the way, Pinboard does not

By the way, Pinboard does not currently seem to have an API, meaning applications can't work with it. I've asked them to implement an API, ideally similar to Delicious' API.

FYI - Pinboard.in is now has

FYI - Pinboard.in is now has a preliminary API, which is apparently (at least right now) a clone of the delicious one:

"Initial version of API

I've released a trial version of our API (see Google group mailing list for details). Right now it's a partial clone of the delicious API with an endpoint at https://api.pinboard.in/v1/. Please try it out, but don't build any real apps with it until I finish debugging!"

(via http://pinboard.in/blog/)

As an aside, is there a way in Pukka to have different accounts use different API? I see the API field in the Advanced preferences panel, but it seems to me that this would apply to all accounts. It'd be nice to be able to post to different sites.

Yes, I noticed this a bit ago but stopped short of announcing it publicly as of yet. No big deal that you did, however :-)

Right now, Pukka's API setting is app-wide across all account. I'm currently working on the best way to allow multiples. It will likely be in 2.0.

So if you only have one

So if you only have one account and want to move to pinboard.in, does pinboard.in work with pukka now? (i.e. by changing the API url across all accounts).

Every time I've gone to test

Every time I've gone to test it, I see problems. Posts don't download and posting fails with an XML problem. I will be looking at this very soon and working with Pinboard to resolve any issues so that it works perfectly.

This now appears to be

This now appears to be working great. You need to be sure to specify the following as the API URL:

https://api.pinboard.in/v1

Note the lack of trailing slash. With this setting in Pukka's Preferences > Advanced, posting, fetching, and searching all seem to work great.

Comments welcome from anyone who tries this out.

pinboard.in settings for Pukka

Thanks so much for your prompt attention to this Justin, very much appreciated! Using pinboard.in with Pukka is very easy.

1. Launch Pukka for the first time
2. Enter your Pinboard username
3. Enter your Pinboard password
4. Uncollapse the triangle next to "Advanced Options" and paste the following into the "API URL" field:

https://api.pinboard.in/v1

Here's how it should look: http://bit.ly/7OXVLL

5. Click "Get Started."

That's it, enjoy Pukka!

Oh, YES! Bye-bye, Delicious.

Oh, YES! Bye-bye, Delicious. I'm as happy as a Frenchman who's invented a pair of self-removing trousers.

Works perfectly for me, with one quirk; the "Visit bookmarks…" menu item (or "Visit bookmarks for [username]" inside the Dock icon) still leads to the Delicious page.

Seriously, though, this … oh, yes.

Another issue: posting works

Another issue: posting works perfectly, but I just noticed that the local bookmark list hadn't updated in several days. After I poked around in the preferences a bit, it did, and is now up to date, so something seems to have triggered it, but I don't think it's updating as regularly as it did with Delicious.
