This is the killer feature, you can display the bookmarks that were added on a specific date, no matter which year, so you can easily find a link you bookmarked two days ago.
Pro Crastination
If you have a habit of saving cool links to your bookmarks and never checking them again, you're in for a treat, Rewind makes your old saves fun and easy to find again.
Cons
Con Paid service
Costs $11/year. Many features are available elsewhere for free.
Con Unresponsive support
Don't expect a response from their support email. Developer is very active on twitter, perhaps a tweet might work better.
Con Can't provide service paid for
I paid for an archival account for 5 years; as my subscription was about to end, there was no way to download my archive. The download button accomplished nothing, emails went unanswered, my post to the pinboard google support group was not approved, dm on twitter was unanswered. A public comment on twitter got me a reply that he'd "look into it", then nothing. $100+ down the drain! Save your money and look elsewhere.
