⚠️ Project Archived

Pingvin Share has been archived since Jun 29, 2025.

I recommend you to checkout Pingvin Share X, a well-maintained fork as of May 2026.

After much consideration, I've chosen to focus my limited time and energy on my other project, Pocket ID. As a solo developer, I've found it difficult to actively maintain multiple open source projects with the care and attention they deserve.

Thanks to all the contributors and users who have supported Pingvin Share over the years :)
