For the last 4 years, I’ve been working on Bookmarks, a Pinboard client for iOS, macOS, and iPadOS. Bookmarks was my solution to what I perceived as a lack of visual platform-native bookmarking solutions focused on personal data management instead of retail driven offerings like Pinterest. Bookmarks has been in public TestFlight beta for the last year-or-so and is really close to a v1. I use it daily to manage all the resources I use for my various projects and I’m pretty proud of it. Today, I’m retiring it and stopping development. This is why.

Preservation / Backup

Apple’s Platforms Are Atropying / Platform Decay

Unsustainable

Never Say Never
