During my online meanderings thru the digital realms, I used to rely on this bookmarking website, Pinboard.in.

It's a no-bullshit bookmarking site that you pay a subscription to use. Basically, it allows you to add links with tags for categorization, and lays out the information in a lightweight feed. Bookmarks can be public or private so you can control what people can see on your list.

I consider this a hidden gem of the internet, since I could never find a simpler way to organize my bookmarks. I paid for a year's a subscription to have my own pinboard.in when I was doing my schooling and used it in a manner that was very similar to an extended bibliography. I would add links to papers and other online content, stamp a category-tag on it for making it easier to locate later, and write up a short blurb on the works relevance to my research. Sometimes I would share my 'pinboard' with colleagues for collaborative projects.

Anyway, that brings me to the first reason for writing this meta, which is because I thought I'd better share this with the stackers out there who are as obsessed with organization/categorization as I am.

I don't really bother paying the subscription price anymore, but, I'm thinking, if I could pay in sats/cc's...And that brings me to the second reason.

Would there be a case for beefing SN bookmarks in a manner similar to pins on pinboard.in (with the option to make private, add description/tags, possibly requiring a small fee that goes to reward pool)? Afaict, we can add bookmarks and see them on our SN profile page (which I think is always public?), but not with a tag/category or description. You can only sort them using the standard sorting rationale (zaprank, date etc...). Something like lists on Nostr but for SN.

From a maintenance/builder standpoint, would this create too much 'noise'?

Does this screw up the SN pay-to-post incentives in a way that I'm missing?

Could anybody else see this being useful to them?

I realize it's a long-shot, considering the wallet stuff going on rn. Maybe it can be bookmarked for later consideration!

Anyway, happy New Year, Stackers. And thank you all for all you do.

Many blessings.
