Plugin is based on go pinboard for Alfred, from Hamid Ghadyani https://bitbucket.org/listboss/go-pinboard/wiki/Home
Pinboard for cerebro is a front end for Pinboard that allows you:
- search
- filter by tags
- add public bookmarks
- add private bookmarks
- set a new bookmark as To Read
- delete a bookmark
- get the selected text as the bookmark description (see Syntax)
- interact with: Safari, Google Chrome, Google Chrome Canary, Chromium, Webkit and Firefox
Before running the workflow you need to set your Pinboard API Token:
To get it go to your Pinboard account and copy the API in Settings>Password
To enter it open Alfred Preferences>Workflows then select Pinboard then, finally, click in Configure Workflow and Variables (as seen below):
Follow the instructions there and the workflow should be ready to use.
If you need help show Alfred and type the keyword phelp
Search will always look for URL, title, description and tags.
show Alfred and type the keyword ps type your query e.g. ps apple
show Alfred and type the keyword ps type a hash sign and select a tag from the list (autocomplete) e.g. ps #tag1 #tag2 : after the colon type your query e.g. ps #tag1 #tag2 :apple
return key: open the bookmark option key: delete the bookmark (you may need to manually reload the local cache)
The workflow will list always two options:
Add Public Bookmark to Pinboard Add Private Bookmark to Pinboard Holding Command key will add it as an unread bookmark.
Note: make sure your Browser is the front most window then use the keyword pa
Note: Firefox may need that you reload the page. Anyway, the workflow always show the URL so you can check if it is right or not.
The workflow also saves the last command (Last Used item) so you can easily replicate. And with a hotkey you can add a bookmark even without any interaction at all.
You can optionally add tags and a custom description.
To add tags simply type a hash sign and select it from the list (autocomplete) e.g. pa #tag1 #tag2 :
After the colon, as seen above, you can optionally type the bookmark description e.g. pa #tag1 #tag2 :great workflow
And in order to get the selected text as the bookmark description type enclosed brackets after the colon e.g. pa [] or pa #tag1 #tag2 :[]
To add just a description just type it after the keyword e.g. pa great workflow
Search, Add and Last Used have also a hotkey that you can set in Alfred Preferences.
In order to make things a bit faster, the workflow caches all your Pinboard bookmarks and tags.
However, due even Pinboard API limitations the workflow will not, for now at least, update the cache automatically.
However, if your cache is more than one day older the workflow will let you know.
Anyway, you can use the keyword preload to manually update the local cache.
