my own del.icio.us clone
by Frank Spychalski filed under projects

Last week after I wrote an answer to a comment about igooi I got the mad idea to write my own clone of del.icio.us. So far it’s going pretty good, considering I knew very little php and SQL when I started.

Features implemented by now:

  • add an url with title, extended description and a set of tags
  • show all urls for a user, for a tag or for a user and a tag
  • import bookmarks from del.icio.us

I think it’ll take me a few more days until I deem it ready for a public beta :-)

31.3.05
have been busy so codewise I made no improvements. But I had a look at de.lirio.us (open source del.icio.us clone with no new ideas, written in Perl) and Scuttle (another clone, this time in php). I hope I’ll get the code into a more or less usable shape until sunday.

    I don’t know any implementation details about http://freshmeat.net/projects/delirious/, but it’s a del.icio.us clone nonetheless. One that’s causing some serious discussion.

    Thanks for the pointer. I’ll have a look at it, but the main reason for me to write this thing is to learn php and SQL while working on something I enjoy and if I’m lucky I come up with something which actually works :-)
