A simple button that shows the Pinboard.in 'Save a Bookmark' page and supports bookmark descriptions based on selection.
Pinboard.in 'Save a Bookmark' button Extension
I wrote this small plugin since every other Pinboard extension at the time was trying to do more than just allow creating a new bookmark and I wanted to have as little clicks as possible.
Requires access to all pages in order to support the \"use current selection as description\" feature.
Full source code of this extension is available on my Github repository: https://github.com/aggregat4/chrome-extensions/tree/master/pinboard-save-bookmark
Changelog:
1.0.6 - Small typo caused a bug that prevented the popup from showing, should be fixed.
