I mainly wrote this so I can learn/practice Go (golang). It uses an Alfred workflow helper that's also written in Go.

The helper is similar to what Dave has for php: https://bitbucket.org/listboss/go-alfred

Thanks for this, I like it

 

Would it be possible to leave out the ";" when adding a bookmark?

 

For faster bookmarking, I would like to just type "p", autocomplete a couple of tags, and press "Enter".

[listboss]

Let me see if I can add that, I remember I couldn't figure out how to tell Alfred that 'Enter' means done and move to the next step of the workflow.

Hitting 'Enter' right after autocompleting the last tag now works for me.

I updated the workflow in the Download section of the above link.

Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for the update

 

Could support for creating new tags be added?

Just updated.

Let me know if you encounter any bugs.

It doesn't look like there's new download when I use the links in the first post?

[Floating.Point]

This is a great workflow. Thanks for all the work, I will use this daily!

[Jono]

Nice, thanks.

 

Is there any way to search just tags?

[snownskate]

This is perfect, as a new pinboard user this is (almost) exactly what I was looking for....2 things I would love to see:

 

* Ability to add new bookmarks as public (maybe a pset setting for people who don't want this?)

 

* Auto refreshing ....maybe it hits the refresh script when searching? 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for sharing!

I have updated the code to support public bookmarks and tag-only searches, as well as support for Chromium browser.

I just need to get my hands on a 64-bit Mac so I can update the workflow accordingly. (my laptop is from 2008)

So just hang-in there

Regarding auto-refresh, I am not sure how to implement it without sacrificing the "snappiness" of searching and/or posting bookmarks.

[Jono]

Looking forward to it

[Carlos-Sz]

Very nice workflow.

 

Could you please consider an option to show tags as soon as we type p in Alfred? Maybe as an option?

 

I like to keep a limited number of tags and it will make things faster here.

 

Thank you.

Great. I need an option to create a public bookmark to make my IFTTT receipt work in order to refresh the workflow in the background utilizing the new Alfred 2.3 external trigger:

 

 

In resume, when a new public bookmark is made a new text file is created in a Dropbox folder. Then Hazel detects it and calls the external trigger of the workflow.

In the latest version http://goo.gl/FwlFVE, you can post public bookmarks by setting an option first:

pset shared 

and then doing the usual

p tag1 tag2

(more info: https://bitbucket.org/listboss/go-pinboard/wiki/Home)

 

I will also add an option to auto-update after posting every new bookmark.

For some reason this workflow launches Chrome every time I try to add a bookmark (I use Safari). If Chrome is open, it will bookmark the current page in Chrome.

 

I'm running Yosemite btw.

The latest update should fix this:

• Show the 'New Tag' item at the bottom of tag suggestion list

I have the exact same problem, except I use Chrome (default browser) and it keeps opening Firefox, even after setting "pset browser" to Chrome. Though the bookmark is posted correctly to Pinboard.

 

UPDATE: It not only launches Firefox, but also asks where I have Chromium.app installed, even though I never had Chromium on my system.

 

Running Yosemite.

 

Also, after I install the current version (0.3.7) from Packal, and then run the Packal Updater, it tells me there is an update and then will "update" from 0.3.7 to 0.3.6.

That's a problem with Packal. Kind of. You need to force the local manifest to update, so open the Packal Updater's GUI, and then force the manifest to update again.

 

The problem occurs sometimes when there's a discrepancy of the metadata on Packal and what is stored in the manifest on Github. A script runs on the Packal server to fix the discrepancy every few hours.

Done. Solves the Packal Update Issue. Thanks!

 

 

Still no luck with the Chrome/Firefox hassle...

 

Though I made an observation, when setting the default browser, thst I get the following notifications for the different browser options:

 

"Changed default browser to Default browser: safariSafari"

"Changed default browser to Default browser: chromiumChromium"

"Changed default browser to Default browser: firefoxFirefox"

"Changed default browser to Chrome"

 

The notification for Chrome is the odd one out, even though it has the most reasonable text.

Maybe this is a lead as to why I'm having issues with Chrome?

 

Additionally, when trying to run the workflow from Safari set as the default browser, it still forces Firefox to open.

 

UPDATE: Even more troubleshooting.

 

After I removed Firefox completely from my system, and then tried to run the workflow, I get a dialogue window asking me where to find Firefox.app. If I dismiss the window, the notification does read "Successfully posted %v exit status 1 exit status 1". The bookmark is then NOT posted to Pinboard.
