What a pleasant retrospective on the indie Mac dev era. While it was fun and had its time in the sun, I have to say that I prefer the more decentralized era we are now in. Scanning stuff into Delicious Library with the laptop webcam was fun and all, but it doesn’t compare to the convenience of using the phone in your pocket to scan into a database that syncs across all platforms, where data can be manipulated in bulk later using a mouse and keyboard.
