Hi,
I like the idea of a personalized homepage. What I dont like is the idea of storing my information on a public site. No matter how trustworthy.
Does anyone know of a open source project, which I might install on my own webserver?
Greetings,
Valentin
Looks very cool and similar to http://www.yourminis.com. They have a flash start page that gives you a bunch of cool minis that you can configure. Worth checking out!
Eh. I already have a computer and applications. Why would I want to run software that replicates all that within a web page?
@crackwilding: if you use multiple computers or travel it’s pretty handy to have a single url which will bring you to a page that contains you’re necessities.
Protopage is the first page I launch when I go online. From there, I use it as a sort of dashboard. It contains links to the web-based services and apps I use as well as containers for notes or small bits of temporary info. While I tend to use more robust services for project management, bookmark management, Feed reading, etc. I use protopage as the single location to link me to those services.
The primary thing that I like about protopage is that the design is simple and flexible enough for me to place content pretty much wherever I want within a page (gravity is optional). This makes it a more efficient tool than something more focused or static.
“Why would I want to run software that replicates all that within a web page?”
Because it’s there! Wherever! Whenever! Whatever! Forever!
Thanks for your website! It is very helpfully for my working!
Great website.THX
