There are a lot of project management applications. The problem is most of them require a monthly free, and you can’t modify the code. The end of that monthly free will no doubt rise from free, open-source project-management, features-galore (eh, maybe I’m getting carried away?) project management apps, and Collabtive has a great start.
Everyone once in a while, I take take a look at the other side of web applications – the development side. After all, the web app itself and how it came to be are two sides of the same coin. After getting my hands dirty with other PHP frameworks, I decided it was time for me to do a review on my favorite. Say hello to one of the simplest and most functional frameworks out there – CodeIgniter.
Guestbooks used to be the only way visitors could communicate with the owner of a website without to copy and paste their email directly to a mail client. Things have come a long way, but the old ways are still learning a few new tricks. Ajax, PHP5, MySQL and XML are just a few of those tricks that JibberBook employs.
When creating a web application it is essential that we test to see if it will work in the “real world” before releasing it into the wild. To test our application many of us use the ever tedious “insert” command in phpMyAdmin to create dummy records. This is a long process and more often than not we simple copy the records of the one before. Generate Data fixes this.
Writing the .htaccess file for our website is a pain. Many times when I want to do something simple, I end up denying access to one part of my website or another. Another problem I run into is removing the “www” and sending visitors to specific error pages. No longer will this be a problem, thanks to .htaccessEditor.
It’s almost second nature for a Freelancers to juggle multiple projects, multiple clients, and numerous other responsibilities (What ever happened to watering that plant?). Simple Post-it notes seem to do the trick. But seeing as how our life revolves around our work, and we work online, wouldn’t it make sense to have an online to-do list? Think ToodleDo.
There seems to be hundreds of online file storage services. Why would we need another? We here at theDailyApp love simplicity, and when we came across FileSavr, we just had to share it. Say hello to a truly simple file upload and share service.
Lightbox can be confusing. Like one commenter said, it makes the user think it’s a new page and thus go “back” on their browser. What was needed was an intuitive way to display images and text neatly. With a little inspiration from Cabel Sasser and Apple, and the power of Prototype and jQuery, OrderedList just gave the web a spoonful of Fancy.
The file managers that come with your server normally.. well, suck. The interface is confusing, page loads are slow, and uploading and downloading can be a pain. Many times you just need a simple file/folder manager that allows you to upload, download, delete, and preview images and files. Relay does just that.
Happy (eh, 1 month) Birthday to us! Yes, so, we’re only a month old, but that’s no reason not to celebrate! Like any one-month year old, theDailyApp is still learning a few things, dealing with issues as they pop up, and preparing for ones to come. I’ll describe a few things that have changed, features that have been added, as well as the direction where we are taking theDailyApp.
Tooltips have become more and more prevalent. They’re used to explain fields in a form, explaining certain features, and more. Many tooltips come bloated, hard to install, and even harder to customize. Cast all your fears aside and say hello to Prototip.
The Lightbox effect hit the web by storm a few years ago, but its use and functionality is growing each day. From creating photo galleries, to displaying data, viewing video or just opening an external page, Lightbox has changed the way your visitors view your website. ModalBox is in a whole new “box” of its own.
