Extension summary

Using a bookmarking service like Pinboard is convenient. You always have what you need on-the-go, and you're not tied to a single browser. But for day-to-day use it's tedious to open the bookmark site and search for a URL, especially the most frequent ones over and over.

I wrote this extension because I wanted a way to generate bookmarks in Chrome using Pinboard's "tags". You specify the tags (or combinations of tags) for which you want to generate bookmarks, and they'll be added to the Bookmarks Bar.

How to Use It

When you open the extension for the first time you'll need to supply your Pinboard API Token, which is how third-party apps securely communicate with the Pinboard service on your behalf.

After your API Token is verified, you can select the tags for which you want to generate bookmarks. Selected tags will be visible in a treeview, where you can change and reorder them. The treeview has a context menu for creating folders and performing other actions, and there's a settings panel with other available options.

Once you've got the tags arranged in the treeview the way you'd like, click the "Generate Bookmarks" button. It'll lookup bookmarks matching your selected tags and add them to your Bookmarks Bar.
