Del.icio.us Direc.tor

August 02nd 2005 Posted to Web

Impressive. Most impressive. A very rich and innovative UI for accessing your del.icio.us bookmarks.

Even the way it works is very clever. It’s a bookmarklet which allows it to do things that remote JavaScript could never do.

This project uses the only reliable loophole for executing foreign Javascript code: the bookmarklet bootloader. It works by inserting a <script> element directly into the DOM, which is then immediately executed by the browser. The injected Javascript wipes the existing del.icio.us page and replaces the entire body with the direc.tor UI.
