  • Clean, fast interface

    From 1 comment
    • Nice, Clean interface. Fast, responsive. It's broken right now (Won't import my book marks, refers to me as "4d0c26c34caddf4914000003!") - but I'm looking forward to trying it out.

  • Good work for a few-hour hack

    From 2 comments
    • For a "few extra hours," this is excellent. And I like the route that you're taking by trying to produce as faithful of a reproduction as you can. It's set to basically be a…

    • Password is too long (maximum is 20 characters) :( Looks good otherwise, especially for a overnight hack.

  • Painless Delicious import

    From 1 comment
    • Fantastic. Signed in using Twitter OAuth, imported my Delicious backup, completely painless. Now if you release an API and people make awesome Chrome/Firefox extensions, you're…

    • Actually you can't right now. It's broken. Says "Current password can't be blank"

  • Horizontal scroll and layout margin problems

    From 2 comments
    • Looks good. Some nits though: 1. There isn't enough margin on the left side of the page. The text bumps up right against the edge of my browser. I don't know if this is just an…

    • On my 14" laptop display with Chrome maximised I still have a horizontal scrollbar with a bit of scrolling to see the right edge (cuts off the "New Bookmark" link). Still needs…

  • Server crashed under traffic

    From 1 comment
    • I think your heroku instance is dying under the traffic :P

Requests

  • Open source the code

    From 3 comments
    • Any plans to open source it so we can run it on our own Heroku instance?
      steve19 on HN
    • Looks cool. Two things: I would love if you open sourced it, and dear god that domain sucks, but whatever it was free right? :p
      icco on HN
    • Where can we go to get the code now?

  • RSS feeds

    From 2 comments
    • Are you planning on doing RSS feeds for each page? They're pretty vital for reposting to other sites.
      AndrewDucker on HN
    • Yeah, RSS and JSON views are on the shortlist.

  • API

      shazow on HN
    • API is on the shortlist. It's a Rails 3 app, so json/XML feeds of views are trivial. And hey, if Yahoo wanted to buy it, I'd be more than willing to let them kill it for the…

  • Chrome extension

    From 1 comment
    • Looks good. I might even like the appearance of it more than delicious. Easily my favorite part about delicious, though, is the Chrome plugin. Make one. :)

  • Exporter

    From 2 comments
    • this looks pretty great, but I have to be a total dick here for a minute and ask. Is there an exporter? Given the current climate, I think it is at least a little bit reasonable…
      shallowwater on HN
    • There is now an exporter, both in netscape bookmark format and json :)

Questions

  • Can Delicious data be imported?

    From 1 comment
  • Can Chrome bookmarks be imported?

    From 1 comment
    • Is there any way to import bookmarks from Chrome? I see it mentioned but then it just redirects me to the delicious importer. Place-holder text? Edit: Also it appears to be down…

  • Delicious itself, which is not shutting down

    • This is really great. But - http://blog.delicious.com/ Delicious is not shutting down.

  • About 90 other Delicious clones

    From 1 comment
    • That's definitely the can-do, spontaneous hacker spirit! But aren't there already like 90 delicious clones out there?

  • mybucket.co

    From 1 comment
    • A friend recently launched http://mybucket.co/ It could use some L&F finesse but it's a pretty nice system. And it'll import from delicious.
