Recreating Delicious Library in 2025?

It’s been so long that I don’t even remember exactly how I discovered Delicious Library. But as one of the rare Mac users back then (at least where I lived), I was definitely among the first to know about it—and I couldn’t wait to tell everyone I knew.

Even when Mac OS X was still young, and third-party apps had a personal, playful character that made them so much fun—unlike the dull, flat designs we have today—Delicious Library still stood out. I just did a quick search through my files from the early 2000s, and I found that I’ve used Delicious Library as the example of unique and tasteful software design in so many presentations over the years—both internally and publicly. Maybe it’s finally time to stop making design concepts and start building a real, modern web version of Delicious Library.
