- Duanemclemore 3y agoRIP to a real one. I found a del.icio.us replacement and a Google Reader replacement I might never need to go on the wider web ever again. So people talking about this is exciting!
- iforgotpassword 3y agoI never bothered to figure out what happened. It was del.icio.us where everything was lean and clean and worked well and at some point it moved to delicious.com and went to shit. At least that's how I remember things. ;)
- andrepd 3y agoA lean and clean service being enshittified to the point of unusability? Unheard of in the history of the internet! :)
- hunglee2 3y agoyeah, it was brilliant service. Don't know the history of it but I didn't see a revenue model and they ended up pivoting around for something that would make money. Seems like there are certain ideas which are destined to be great services but not great businesses. We should figure out a way to put them into the public demesne where they can be collectively supported in a non-profit way, rather than see them die off after unsuccessful pivots
- Brajeshwar 3y agoI believe the founder, Joshua Schachter, should be the best person to answer that. He is also another active HackerNews user[1]. Unlike Flickr, I think, Delicious was never rescued from Yahoo! 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=joshu https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=joshu
