Pretty good! A couple small refinements would really help.

This is the best Pinboard client I’ve used so far. I like the layout, the searchability, and the ability to explore links from the community. The integrations are also nice! The $15 price felt expensive at first but Pinboard is a small community to begin with and I believe in supporting developers.

There are a handfull of things that could kick this app to 5 stars:

1) Allow me to Quick Look links with the spacebar. This makes searching and exploring easier without needing the navigation window open all the time, which takes up a lot of room. It is also a behavior that Apple has trained us to expect and is a bit jarring when it doesn’t work.
2) The menu says cmd + “.” marks a link as public but so does the spacebar, which is odd behavior and something that happened many times by accident.
3) Add an option to NOT mark things as read when opening them. If I open the wrong article or don’t get a chance to finish it, I wouldn’t want it to disappear from the Unread list.

Some other things that were unintuitive at first but weren’t a huge deal:

1) Allow cmd+c to copy the url. cmd+L isn’t super intuitive.
2) Add some of the share options to the right click menu, which is easier to get to. Like “Open in Safari” and “Copy Link”

The developer has obviously put a lot of thought into this app and I hope he continues to do so. Thanks!
