Pinstr Bookmarklet

The Pinstr bookmarklet allows you to save webpages to your Pinstr account directly from your browser.

Installation

Save to Pinstr

(Drag this link to your bookmarks bar)

How to Install:

  1. Make sure your browser's bookmarks bar is visible. (In most browsers, you can press Ctrl+Shift+B or Cmd+Shift+B to toggle the bookmarks bar)
  2. Click and drag the "Save to Pinstr" button above to your bookmarks bar.
  3. The bookmarklet is now installed and ready to use!

How to Use

  1. Navigate to any webpage you want to save as a bookmark.
  2. Click the "Save to Pinstr" bookmarklet in your bookmarks bar.
  3. A popup window will appear with the current page's URL and title pre-filled.
  4. If you've selected text on the page before clicking the bookmarklet, it will be included in the description field.
  5. Review and edit the bookmark details if needed.
  6. Click "Save Bookmark" to save it to your Pinstr account.
  7. If you have a Nostr extension installed, you'll be prompted to sign the bookmark event for publishing to Nostr.
  8. After saving, you can close the popup or continue browsing.

Nostr Integration

The Pinstr bookmarklet works best with a Nostr browser extension installed:

  • Alby - Browser extension that includes Nostr capabilities
  • nos2x - Dedicated Nostr signer extension

These extensions allow the bookmarklet to create a properly signed Nostr event (NIP-B0) for your bookmark, which can then be published to Nostr relays.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Popup Blocked: If your browser blocks the popup, you'll need to allow popups from your Pinstr domain.
  • No Nostr Extension: If you don't have a Nostr extension installed, you can still save bookmarks, but they won't be published to the Nostr network.
  • Bookmark Not Saving: Make sure you're logged into your Pinstr account in the same browser.
  • Bookmarklet Not Working: Try reinstalling the bookmarklet by dragging it to your bookmarks bar again.
  • Nostr Signing Fails: Check if your Nostr extension is properly configured and has permissions for the Pinstr site.
