QuickPin Extension

This is a very simple, very fast extension for Pinboard users. All it does is save the current tab to your Pinboard's read later folder.

Please be aware this is a limited initial release. There are no settings in the app and no error handling implemented. I would advise checking your Pinboard account after saving your first page just to make sure everything is working properly.
