cloud.lic.io.us

I've been neglecting cloud.lic.io.us for some time now. It's been buggy ever since Leopard came out, and I've been lazy about it. My current distraction is iPhone application development. If and when I ever get back to cloud.lic.io.us, it'll be to re-evaluate how I'm doing caching, and possibly adding a search box. Hopefully I will get some time in the near future to work on these features.

Version 0.6c, minor updates. I wasn’t correctly escaping XML data for the delicious API. Implemented some code to properly translate what you see in the widget, the tags, to what gets sent to the delicious API. If you have tags that make use of +, &, <, >, or " you’ve probably experienced the empty side-slider problem… hopefully no longer.

cloud.lic.io.us is a Mac OS X 10.4+ dashboard widget that displays a cloud of your del.icio.us tags. Once you’ve configured the widget with your delicious username and password, it will retrieve all your tags and arrange them in the cloud. The cloud increases the visibility of your most popular tags by growing their font size and darkening their color. Clicking on a tag opens a side slider that contains all the links associated with that tag. Clicking on the link, in the slider, auto-magically opens your browser to that web-page.

The widget can be configured to sort by popularity or alphabetically, display a number count of tag usage, limit the minimum tag count for display, three different “base” font sizes, and version checking that can be completely disabled.
