🏒 Lucian Marin Should I start a new service to compete with Pinboard? If you want a sneak peak, you can look at notes.lucianmarin.com which replaced Instapaper, Quote.fm and Delicious for me.

👽 Paul Webb Are you going to launch this service? I'm assuming your open-sourcing of it means no.
🏒 Lucian Marin It seems people are against another Pinboard, so no for now. But you can use Instanote to self-host your own links.
🤔 John People are against a new everything. If you have a vision don't let us stop you!
👽 Paul Webb Meh, you should do it anyway (if you feel passionate about it).
😀 Tom I'll take a look at it when I get home. I've wanted to make my own bookmark service for a while now. Noe that I'm going to start programming again, I think that might be my first project.
John Olinda I like it a lot. It would be really handy if there was a bookmarklet that could add a page to it with one click. Did it automatically populate the content of the note blurb or did you do that manually?
🏒 Lucian Marin I do it manually. I think I will open source it since there're just some easy to understand PHP files.
🤔 John That looks fantastic. Do you have a vision for what it does better/different than pinboard?
🏒 Lucian Marin Features that Sublevel has: comments, messages, avatars and a better design. Probably the like button will add a link to your profile. And I want to get rid of followers and home feed.
Martijn To be honest, I use Pinboard specifically because it does not do those things. I don't need those things on my bookmarks. So this would never actually compete with Pinboard for me, I might still use it though.
👽 Paul Webb Same, I use it instead of my browser's native bookmarking feature. However, this is super pretty.
Tbd love the speed of search. needs a saved site thumb for those that remember visually
