Comment on Pinboard Turns Five

Comments

I love pinboard. Can I make a feature suggestion? (Is maciej active on HN these days?)

I'm sick of giving things tags. I imagine some users like to tag things and some, like me, don't want to.

Can you create an autotag mode? You can mix a) predictions based upon the body text, and b) manual tags from users not in lazy mode. You could allow users to drop bad autotags for a particular URL.

The firefox addon does something very close to this. When you save a bookmark, a window pops up, with all the necessaries, and a text field for notes, and a tag field that you can type in. There are usually suggested tags below that, which you can use by clicking them; I think the suggestions come partly from tags you already have, and partly from the target content.

The suggested tags also appear when you use the popup bookmarklet from https://pinboard.in/howto/

I have used both of those.

At the bare minimum, I want them to automatically use the suggested tags, so I can bookmark things with a single click.

This! Or just list the suggested tags in order of popularity.

Right now I am just getting suggested tags solely from within the pool of my existing tags. I want to see what other people tagged.

That's one of the essential features of a product idea I've had for quite some time. Freaky
