Metrolicious

Metrolicious requires that you have a free account for delicious.com to use all features.

Metrolicious lets you access your bookmarks (posts) stored on delicious.com. Integrated into the windows 8 eco system Metrolicious leverages the share charms to add new bookmarks. Relying on the share charm enables you to create bookmarks not only from the Windows 8 Internet Explorer. Any application that is able to share hyperlinks is now able to directly add new posts on delicious.com without the need to first render the page in the browser. Besides the sharing of URLs directly from the browser any text or HTML can be shared with Metrolicious. The app is parsing the content for the first URL and prepare a new bookmark you can tag and save to delicious.com. By default any bookmark is public and viewable by any visitor of your delicious.com profile. If you add a new bookmark you can opt in to save a private link that will not show up on your profile page.

Metrolicious is a great way to store bookmarks for content you want to remember for later reference or to create a backlog of stuff to read/watch/listen. The application start page gives you instant access to a configurable amount of your recent bookmarks and tags. Also integrated on the first page you can display bookmarks for a configurable tag. The default tag is “remember” and it will show all posts tagged with this name for easy access.

If you click on any headline your will get access to the full list of posts grouped by month or tags by name.

The detail page of a bookmark is showing the title, URL, your notes and tags. You can open the URL in the browser or share the URL using the Windows 8 charms menu. If you want to share the URL to a mobile phone you can point your phone to the generated QR code and open the URL on any device that is able to parse QR codes.

Starting with version 1.1 you are now able to manage your bookmarks within the application (as long as you are online). On the details page of a bookmark open the app bar (swipe up or right click on free space) and you can delete or edit a bookmark. The main focus for the initial version (1.0) was to replicate the share charm features. In future versions a more optimized version will assist you even more to find the right tags. At the moment the system is only working with one delicious.com account.

To optimize the share experience a little more the changes in version 1.2 will use the quick share feature to allow an easy reuse of the tags used in the last bookmark. There will be two items available: 1. is the quick link for your favorite tag which will stay there all the time and 2. The tag combination from your previous post.
Beginning with version 1.2.1 the application was updated to match the sample data for the windows 8.1 version. Please consider upgrading. The windows 8.0 version will continue to work but major updates will only be released on the windows 8.1 branch.
In version 1.2.2 the app got some bug fixes regarding tags with spaces. For a better navigation experience the app now features a global navigation bar. Open the top bar using a swipe up from the bottom of your touch screen or right click on some free space in the application.
Metrolicious is a free application relying on the Microsoft Advertisement infrastructure. The ads are displayed on the far right of the start hub and on the detail and edit page. Due to a change in the advertisement infrastructure the small ad in the share charm is now a little bit bigger.
