Usefull tools that we don't have
« on: October 10, 2009, 06:56:11 PM »
Hi

Copyrights prevent us to get some usefull tools :/

1. Super kickstart, that would be cd drivers loaded an some system speedup patches. I know that I can make it myself.

2. Super bootdisk that would be some kind of mini wb and nice set of tools and of course dc-rom drivers

I find Twitter extremely useful. It's replaced newspapers for me.

Well in my case, i would like these apps to be created for AmigaOS 3.1 so that they can easily work with Morphos and AmigaOS 4.x:

1- A web browser with css and flash support
2- A bluetooth stack
3- An office suite with popular file formats support like doc, ppt, xls, etc
4- An AROS Zune (MUI clone) ported to AmigaOS 3.x
5- An AGA Picasso96 driver
6- An updated and cleaned up printer system (In Workbench there are too many programs scattered everywhere, rather weird to use eg.: 3 prefs printer programs plus the ones in the tools/utilities drawers). Together with a standart adopted so that development of drivers gets a bit easier
7- An easy to use partition manager program (like GNU Parted, Partition magic)
8- A DVD/CD filesystem that supports ALL current formats
9- A Fat95 like bugfixed like program with NTFS read and write support

Me too.  Newspapers nowadays rarely reach 240 characters in the whole newspaper, let alone an article...

What the heck is a twitter client anyways? I thought reading twitter involved using a webbrowser or rss-feed reader, and for making new messages there's arexx already.

A twitter client is just what the name suggests, a desktop client for posting to/reading your twitter updates.

Such as Twitteriffic on the mac: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2292/2216494486_fd0065ca2d.jpg?v=0

Yes you can go to http://www.twitter.com, login and do it from the site, but its not the same as having a dedicated client you can configure and just leave open on your desktop.  Plus the twitter homepage is notoriously unreliable and generally is down at least a few times a day.

You could argue you could use web-msn rather than having sabremsn/ami-msn too, but like I said, it doesn't beat a proper desktop client than can be kept open, freeing your browser.

I know jahc was working on a twitter client that looked pretty good to me, but he didn't see the point in it over just going onto the website, if someone else would take it up, maybe he'd hand over the source code, so you have a starting point.

Well generally I follow news sources I find interesting, and make a custom news-feed, then the tweets they send out have links to the complete article.  But you can often get a headline into the 240 characters easy enough, then click the link to the main article should I find the story of interest.

I started on a twitter client as well, this far I only have the part that sends new tweets ready and working. Not too exciting....
