Pinboard Bookmark Bar Sync 1.1
Copies Pinboard bookmarks to the Google Chrome bookmark bar. Groups them by tag in named folders on the bookmark bar. It is sweet.

| 2015-10-07 |  | | Nice execution, basically works as advertised, but has some limitations: - support for lots of tags is not great. there's no way to search for certain tags to sync, and no setting to sort tags by most popular, which would help. only about 20 tags can be seen at once in the sync selector. I have 600+ tags, so a resize or a find would be helpful here. (while the options include a setting for number of tag COLUMNS, this doesn't affect the number of tag ROWS, or the overall height of the tag area) - the label text is not clickable in the UI, so user can't click on e.g. "Save", she has to click only the small checkbox next to save. this would be an easy fix in CSS; just wrap the label text in a label element and it will be clickable. as it is, it works, it's just annoying and works differently than UI works on the rest of the web. - the password-saving checkbox ("this is a private computer") flow is totally draconian and doesn't feel consistent with how other Chrome extensions work. i think there's no great reason why a power-user needs to be warned about this multiple times — if they are advanced enough to 1. use Pinboard 2. know there's a Chrome extension for syncing bookmarks, 3. install and configure it, I think it's reasonable to assume that they know what "save password" means without a pedantic warning about public vs. private computers. it's just not a pleasant introduction to the app. | |

| 2015-03-29 |  | | Great, the only thing I think that needs to improve is automatically loading tags. That would make this great. I am almost inclined to say that this should be apart of the official extension! | |

| 2011-12-19 |  | | Love this extension. But: for a few days, the sync is broken. The tags are synced alphabetically; the first tag succeeds, all the following tags fail (error message: Error getting bookmarks for tag 'xxx'.) Any idea on this? | |
