Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. At the moment, LinkAce doesn't have it's own native apps to add links especially on mobile platforms or browser extensions. If LinkAce can understand the simple APIs of Del.icio.us (now deprecated, but there're LOTS of still working clients out there, where a good share can modify its endpoints to add links), pinboard.in and shar.li - we could use the the existing clients/browser extensions and source code to use it for LinkAce with very small changes.

Describe the solution you'd like Add new routes for every third-party api to add the links

Describe alternatives you've considered Build all the clients/browser extensions yourself. IMO that will fail since various clients exist because not every one wants the same of their clients.

Additional context TBD: API documentation of the various third-party APIs

Research direction
Study the existing API routes in LinkAce to understand the current structure. Research the Delicious, Pinboard, and Shaarli APIs to identify the common endpoints for adding bookmarks. Propose new routes that map these third party APIs to LinkAce's internal logic. Review the discussion in the issue for any insights or partial solutions provided by maintainers or contributors.
