My Dash Board – Announcement

by Vijay Kiran

I’m online almost all of the time. I browse, read, blog, chat, IM, search, mail even when I’m on the move. I’ve been planning to take all my settings every time instead of installing some software. So that I can synchronize my online activity from every where. So I was planning to create a small XUL web application using which I can track everything through my website, which is accessible from any computer. It’s a kind of dashboard. After my recent experience with XUL I’ve decided that I’ll develop it in XUL + JS. Here are the tentative list of features:

Features are almost like Google Desktop, but where ever you go, your application follows you. Here are the primary features. Technology needs to be used is given in the brackets. Once the basic interface is developed, I’ll extend the features for the modules soon. I want start with the blogging module first. So that I can use and test simultaneously.

  • Blogs. (RPC API)
  • Newsfeeds.(RSS/Atom API)
  • Email (POP/IMAP & SMTP).
  • Notes.
  • Weather (WebServices).
  • Messenger (XMPP protocol/ or tech like Meebo).
  • Alerts
  • Search (Google Search/Yahoo Search).
