Make your Pinboard bookmarks Spotlight searchable.

I use Pinboard almost exclusively to bookmark interesting places on the web because it allows me to attach metadata to them that Safari can't. But, Pinboard bookmarks aren't Spotlight-searchable. This Python application allows you to keep a local copy of your Pinboard bookmarks complete with tags that are applied to local .webloc files.

Usage

1. Install tag

   The Python script makes use of a command line application to apply OS X tags to the local bookmarks. You will need to install [tag](https://github.com/jdberry/tag to use this script. I would install it using Homebrew: brew install tag.

2. Calling the script

   You will need to supply at least the following arguments:

   • -u, --user Your Pinboard user name
   • -p, --password Your Pinboard password
   • -w, --webloc The path on your filesystem where the webloc files will be stored

   Optionally, you can specify the path to the sqlite3 database that the script uses.

   -d, --database The path on your filesystem where the sqlite3 database is stored
