Flock

In my opinion, things Flock gets right are:


  • A decent theme across platforms (Firefox on Mac could do with a little bit of attention here)
  • Full-text indexing of visited pages, based on Lucene (Beagle's Firefox extension does this indexing nicely on Linux. I should try Slogger, but it's not working at the moment).
  • The Shelf for storing snippets (though I'd prefer if it was a bar along the bottom of the screen and had proper previews. For now I'll stick with a cite bookmarklet, which does even better formatting of citations).

I already have del.icio.us links handy in Live Bookmarks and via Cocoalicious (using this delicious bookmarklet). Ecto is a great blogging tool and the Flickr web site is pretty social in itself, so that just about covers the rest of the features.

Cocoalicious actually does full text indexing, but it needs a lot of work and has some limitations due to the limitations of SearchKit. We're working on it, though...

Oh--I'm also working on local caching of del.icio.us posts. I did a lot of work on that this weekend, in fact.
