PURVEYOR OF FINE WORDS

del.icio.us direc.tor

I have always been intrigued by the idea of using a client-side application to act as a service broker, integrating various services like Google Maps, Flickr, and del.icio.us. Unfortunately, after doing the research, I found that the security blocks in the browser prevent normal untrusted code to poll sites that are not from the same server, so that grand service idea couldn’t be a reality. What I was able to do, though, was provide a service for a single website: del.icio.us.

Part research, part appreciation for del.icio.us, del.icio.us direc.tor is a prototype for an alternative web-based rich UI for del.icio.us. It leverages the XML and XSL services of modern browsers to deliver a responsive interface for managing user accounts with a large number of records. Try it out, and let me know what you think.

  1. Impressive stuff! The interface feels really responsive and fast (not that I have a zillion of links in my profile, but anyways), it looks nice and clean.

    If I was to make any suggestions it would be to tone down the yellow mouseover (make it light gray?) in the result listing, since it’s not consistent with how the tag filtering works (where the yellow is used to mark a selection, not a hover event)

    Once again, nice work! gonna read up on your articles about the technology behind it…

  2. Looks like a great start. Yes, the yellow is a bit insane! It has similar function to TagSense. MetaFilter is down right now, but I just asked a question that speaks to this very issue… The gist was: What utilities are available to del.icio.us power users? My specific question was about ways to bulk edit or bulk delete. Take a look at the question (I’d give you the link if the server weren’t down!). The question was written by abbyladybug on 6/23/2005 fairly late at night (with a bit ole editing mistake - whoops!) and del.icio.us is one of the tags.

    Also, I came for del.icio.us director, but I will subscribe because of the photography. Nice work!

  3. A few more comments: The font is awfully small, even to my stellar visioned eyes. When I hover over the tags, my mouse doesn’t change to a little hand or an arrow or anything, so I wasn’t sure it was working. It was, but it’s something to look into. Hope these comments help. :D

  5. del.icio.us direc.tor

    Interesting things are always being done with the design and layout of del.icio.us. Perhaps it’s because the initial design is so…let’s just call it ’sparse’. So, there is an interesting and very well thought-out Ajax i…

  6. Great idea! Unfortunately, doesn’t seem to work for me. I followed the steps to create the link, and when I go to the Director link I’m prompted to log in, and up comes the Director page. So far so good. But the columns (the tag columns) are all empty. The static demo works fine. (I’m using Firefox 1.0.4, with JS enabled.)

  8. Very nice: smart, pretty, and useful. And it comes complete with comments in the code!

    Yet more proof that I need to give up my snobbery about browser-side scripting; while I wasn’t looking it turned into a cool platform. Thanks for such a rocking example!

  9. As a “heavy” delicious user, I can only thank you. Great Job, I posted about it my blog (Hebrew blog about Social Bookmarkings), and so far I got only good responses. Rock on!

  10. Really impressive script!

    David: I think the edit link is hard-coded to del.icio.us, but everything else seems to work fine with Scuttle. Keen.

  19. I don’t go deep in your code but maybe you can use AjaXSLT (http://sourceforge.net/projects/goog-ajaxslt/) to extends it to Opera and Camino. What do you think? Is it possible?

  22. This is great. It’s a pity I have to keep clicking the bookmarklet. Could this be encapsulated in a Firefox plugin?

  23. A dream delicious client

    A little over a month ago I mentioned my contemplation of tag based bookmark management. Since then I have made a commitment of sorts to move my links to del.icio.us. Lately, instead of working though my bookmarks and uploading the links I want to keep…

    Trackback by ollicle — June 29, 2005 @ 5:33 am

  24. I’m both really impressed of and really happy for this wonderful tool. Not only because the unheard of cleverness, but also because it is a great and useful interface.

    Like a few other I would appreciate a larger font for the bookmarks though.

    And I think I’ve found a bug - my tag “watch” shows up like a cryptic “watch ( function watch() { [native code] } 1111111111111111)” in the tag browser.

    Comment by Daniel — June 29, 2005 @ 7:30 am

  25. I’m impressed with the functionality of the tool. I think it will change the way I use del.icio.us. I used to be a minimalist in that I would only use one or two tags to describe each link.

    With direc.tor, I can put way more tags and still stay organized.

    One enhancement request I have is to pass along the list of recommended tags when Edit is selected, as in the current del.icio.us interface.

    Comment by Ust — July 1, 2005 @ 6:35 am

  26. Very nifty. I suggest adding a menu allowing us to select a bundle and then showing only thetags in that bundle in the left column.

  29. Very impressive! Has made del.icio.us even more useful than it already was, which is saying something. However, when I click my tag for ‘art’, it also pulls up ‘articles’, which isn’t so handy.

    Comment by Jaytee — July 6, 2005 @ 11:15 pm

  30. Great work. You’ve taken something great (del.icio.us) and made it even better - that doesn’t happen very often.

    Comment by Dave Fravel — July 12, 2005 @ 3:30 am

  31. Your tools usability, including its ability to sort by Description make it a winner for me.

    One problem I’ve noticed is when I highlight a tag in the Tag Browser the pattern match is not exact. For example if I click on my tag “ar” then bookmarks tagged with “ar”, “article”, “search”, “software” etc. are shown. This gives me bookmarks I didn’t want to see. This is in Firefox 1.0.4 on Windows XP.

    I keep the director window open at all times, but everytime I hit refresh on the browser I have to load the director again.

    Does this support a similar UI for the delicious popular page? That would be really cool….

  46. After installing Johnvey Hwang’s del.icio.us direc.tor Javascript bookmarklet for Firefox or Internet Explorer, browse any page on del.icio.us, click the bookmarklet, and your browser will show the del.icio.us data in an entirely different user interface. - ‘direc.tor offers a richer UI for browsing del.icio.us’ http://www.josschuurmans.com/josschuurmans/2006/03/director_offers.html

  47. Excellent tool! I hope you get more time soon, and I will contribute to that end when I get more money. Now I don’t necessarily need to choose between the bookmark tags extention in Firefox and del.icio.us. They both work the same!

    Comment by Nick — March 16, 2006 @ 5:10 am

  48. You definitely on the right track, but what you have in no way addresses what i need from delicious? I can’t quite see what value your product has helping me use delicious or i don’t understand how to use it. That no way diminishes the wow i got when i first logged in. Use the columns for managing tags and bundles instead of keyword would open this up as the interface is nice and fast. You should make this into the editor for heavy delicious users

    Great job. I’d like to talk to you about using your interface for mashup of delicious

    You need to build an editor that allows me to manage my bundles and tags easier

    The tech spec is excellent.

    What about RSS out? I see you can parse it but can you generate it ;)

    Comment by hans — June 3, 2006 @ 1:19 am

  50. Very slick! Thanks for a wonderful tool, great papers and some fine code!

    I was wondering if it might make sense to use “matches” rather than “conmtains” in the XPath expression. I have tags like “elementary-schools” and “schools” which are semantically different (to me) but selecting “schools” also shows “elementary-schools”.

    OK, that was a labored example, but the issue is more than can be solved by simply renaming my tags.

    Am I right? Can one simply use “matches” instead? I guess I should try it, huh?

    Thanks again,

  51. Great tool, make browsing my bookmarks much more easier,

    couple of thing: as this is GPL’ed is it possible to download it, i want to try and modify it to work with www.scuttle.org (which is pretty much a GPL’ed del.icio.us)

  52. I apologize if someone else already suggested this, but I don’t feel like reading through all your comments ;)

    I would love it if you added some way to refresh the interface to reflect the most recent data. This helps mainly when you edit entries or add an entry from another browsers. Simply running the bookmarklet again works, but a link on the page would be so nice ;) Thanks.

    Comment by Mike Bulman — July 26, 2006 @ 4:46 am

  53. This does work in Opera 9+. The problem is that in the code you check for ‘document.all’ and if found you assume IE although Opera supports lookup via doc.all.
    So to remedy this, I added ‘document.all=null’ to the beginning of your bookmarketlet. Result:

    javascript:void((function() {document.all=false;var%20element=document.createElement(’script’); element.setAttribute(’src’, ‘http://johnvey.com/features/deliciousdirector/dboot.js’); document.body.appendChild(element)})())

    Opera compatible. Its Firefox compatible too but just not IE obviously. Enjoy Opera users.

    What is this problem caused from…?
    Could you fix it plz…?

  56. I started googling this morning for exactly this kind of del.icio.us interface. The speed and presentation are great.

    Few ideas;
    - When I search for t:tag I would like it to highlight in the Tag Browser as well. At present, scrolling to find one of my many tags is tedious.
    - Allow resizing of the screen layout, I would like more vertical space for the Tag Browser
    - Predict the tab that is being typed

    May thanks for writing this. David

    Comment by Stefan — March 18, 2007 @ 3:44 pm

  59. Fantastic extension. Does exactly what I want, allowing me the convenience of an ad-hoc hierarchical tag search without having to pre-plan anything. Previously I used the Bookmark Tags extension for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/998/), but that build an exponentially expanding number of bookmark folder hierarchies so it wasn’t ideal.

    The one improvement I would suggest is in the tag pools displayed at the top of the window. The leftmost one contains all my tags, the second displays all tags used in combination with the one selected in the first, the third contains all tags used in combination with the first two, and so on. What I’d prefer to see is a single tag pool. Each time I click on a tag, it gets highlighted and all unrelated tags disappear from the pool. That way I’d end up with the equivalent of the contents of the rightmost tag pool plus the highlighted ones from the other pools. Just to round things off, clicking on a highlighted tag would unhighlight it and the tag pool content would be recalculated.

    This ides would make it easier to use direc.tor from the Firefox sidebar, where screen real-estate is at more of a premium.

    Thanks for a great tool.

    I cant seem to get this to reload thereafter unless I close the browser and reopen it. Also changes made during the use don’t seem to be changed in direc.tor although they are changed on del.icio.us
    -Also just a wish - it’d be awesome if there was batch editing

    And just a comment - it is awesome that you don’t only search by tag but also in the title

  66. Suspect it is not your code, but FYI: Firefox 3b4 seems to have broken direc.tor. Someone has mentioned JS engine changes between b3 and b4, and direc.tor worked fine in b3.

    This is one of my favorite pieces of code, a thousand thanks for developing it. Once has to wonder why del.icio.us itself hasn’t formalized it as an extension…

  67. Truly awesome! Congratulations on this brilliant piece of software!

    I have a request for a new feature (it’d be a huge help for me and thousands of others):

    - An import of bookmarks from PowerMarks 3.5

    This guy tells the problem better than me:

    http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-delicious/message/215

    PowerMarks is a Windows program that works pretty much just as your script. But many users, like me, are stuck with the bookmark file (Netscape-like) because del.icio.us can’t read it correctly. The tags aren’t imported anyway and the result is poor.

    So this import feature would be very helpful for thousands of people. Please, please, please …?

    Comment by Bjorn T. Jonsson — March 14, 2008 @ 11:16 pm

  68. Your addon works a bit like the del.icio.us extension for firefox, 5.44, by Yahoo — but yours is better, with a tags column included in the bookmarks list. In this regard, I have a lot of untagged bookmarks that need tags. It would be a huge help to have something like the flat bookmark extension: a data edit window that changes as you highlight different bookmarks. Thne one just types in relevant tags, without having to click “edit” for each bookmark.

    Also, I guess it takes two clicks on two linnks: first the API page, and then the direc.tor link — to start your director?

  • From Joseph Clarke in Triple Canopy, a comparison of the histories of the American megachurch and corporation.

    Lakewood and America's twelve hundred other megachurches -- congregations that draw between two thousand and fifty thousand people per weekend -- are not simply vast machines for passive spectatorship. Sunday services are convergences of worshipers who spend their weeknights at prayer groups, Bible studies, ministries, and missionary training sessions. Successful megachurches are like well-run companies, with intricate corporate structures devised to keep each member personally engaged; their pastors are like chief executives, maximizing the productivity of laborers in the evangelism enterprise. Jumbotron notwithstanding, the architectural and organizational tropes of the megachurch are best compared to those of the modern white-collar workplace.

  • New father Paul Drielsma thinks that the language around fatherhood needs to change.

    Scour the parenting forums on the Internet and you'll find the common lament that "DH" (darling husband) expects a medal whenever he "babysits" junior for a few hours. I have little sympathy for DH in these cases, but maybe a step in the right direction would be to stop using language that suggests hired help -- to stop referring to DH's job in the same terms as somebody who could legitimately stick his hand out at the end of his shift and demand a tip. DH isn't babysitting, he's parenting, and just changing that one word changes, for me at least, all sorts of connotations.

  • A short appreciation of the SR-71 Blackbird, an airplane that was literally faster than a speeding bullet.

    "It wasn't like any other airplane," he told me. It was terrifying, exciting, intense and humbling every time you flew. Each mission was designed to fly at a certain speed; you always knew the airplane had more. It was like driving to work in a double-A fuel dragster."

    The skin of the plane's fuselage was a whopping 85% titanium, which was purchased, during the Cold War, from the Soviet Union.

    Update: See also SR-71 Groundspeed Check, Google Map of where all the Blackbirds are, and SR-71 Disintegrates Around Pilot During Flight Test:

    Everything seemed to unfold in slow motion. I learned later the time from event onset to catastrophic departure from controlled flight was only 2-3 sec. Still trying to communicate with Jim, I blacked out, succumbing to extremely high g-forces. The SR-71 then literally disintegrated around us. From that point, I was just along for the ride.

  • David Galbraith calculates that if buildings by famous architects were priced like paintings, a Le Corbusier building would be worth more than the entire US GDP.

    The top floor of Corbusier's Villa Stein (one of perhaps the top 500 most important houses of the late 19th/early 20th centuries - i.e. a Van Gogh of houses) is for sale for the same price per sq.ft. (approx $1400) as buildings in the same area of suburban Paris, designed by nobody in particular. Meanwhile, Van Gogh's Portrait of Dr. Gachet sold for an inflation adjusted price of $136 million yet a poster of similar square footage and style costs around $10.

    In terms of signaling, it's difficult to hang a house on one's parlor wall...buying a Corbusier means living in it wherever it happens to be located, at least part of the year.

    Once upon a time, Luke | Kirk | Neo | Harry was living a miserable life. Feeling disconnected from his friends and family, he dreams about how his life could be different. One day, he is greeted by Obi Wan | Captain Pike | Trinity | Hagrid and told that his life is not what it seems, and that due to some circumstances surrounding his birth | birth | birth | infancy he was meant for something greater.

    Update: The connecting theme is the monomyth. (via @adamlgerber)

    Update: Or perhaps Potter is really Young Sherlock Holmes? (thx, stephen)

  • CNNMoney tells us about seven great companies to work for. For instance, a Colorado brewing company gives their employees free beer and company ownership.

    After one year of work, each employee receives an ownership stake in the company and a free custom bicycle. After five years every employee enjoys an all-expenses-paid trip to Belgium -- the country whose centuries-old beer tradition serves as a model for the Fort Collins, Colo., brewery. Oh yeah, and employees get two free six-packs of beer a week.
