PortableApps.com Launches!

This is great concept. I've used your apps for a while and I love them! Now if you can get some mac apps on there, that would be really helpful for me. Better, yet, some cross-platform apps, such as Firefox....

I found out about your portable apps a short while ago and I am a huge fan. I occasionally work on multiple machines and I hate having to configure each one to my personal preferences. The new site is really slick and I've already got it bookmarked! Thanks John!

I have not been able to get greasemonkey to install on Portable Firefox 1.5, can it be done? Any suggestions?

i love it, one of the most usefull developements i've seen in a very long time!

This is one site that I will most certainly recommend to anyone that uses flash drives! Great job, John!

When posting portable app, you should say where the app will write the setting to, such as application folder, user application data, or registry. Some app doesn't provide the zipped file, but the installer. But when you install it, you can just copy the folder, and run it portable. So make sure you should put those instruction too.

I can help posting portable app if you want, since I'm very interesting in this section. I recently have a lot of app on my USB, so I can carry around and feel like at home.

Anyway, good luck on your new website, I will try to check frequently!

PS. I'm quite curious if I can post in your site. I know quite a lot of portable apps, so I can help. Just show me how!

The Mexican edition of PC Magazine alerted me about your original site, and I've been a faithful user of the PortableApps and I try to promote them in my work and personal life.

The magazine also mentioned really good apps such as Coolplayer (music player, 584kb), Foxit PDF reader (2.52 MB). As for text editing (for programming or web editing), I use a commercial app, EditPadPro, which can be told to store its settings in an .INI file, leaving it as a 782kb portable app without its help file).

I've had a problem with my IT people at work, insisting that IE is safe to use, yet we are bogged with patches and continual updates. It's just crazy. At home, I only use WinXP for the OS. Everything else is non MS, and my life is bliss.

Now that you've developed these ingenius apps, I can take my settings from home to work. OpenOffice files, Firefox and favourites, Thunderbird email, even Filezilla is available to me at ANY time!

I've written about your website and how these apps will change the lives of many the friends who read my blog. Thanks for thinking outside of the square.

Hi

Great site and I look forward to the extra applications coming available. Is there any chance of setting up a RSS feed on your site so that I can view any changes in my email client of choice: Thunderbird?

Many thanks

Hello,
Great idea to create this web site ! I'm french, and a community named "Framakey" exists in my country with similar projects (with french local files of course). Thank you to John Haller for the wonderfull dev. of "Portable" serie. French community loves your Portable Apps !

Hi John, just wanted to add my voice to the ongoing lurve-fest for your work.
I have been using portable Firefox and Sunbird for maybe a year now. Thank you for making this happen. I have found it extremely useful and intend to try out the entire suite.

Awesome website....

I've been using TreeDBNotes as a document database, both at work and home, for a long time now and found out by accident that it was portable. Since I found this great web site I've discovered that for all but a very few apps I can just about live off my USB flash drive. For those of us that often use the same data and documents at work and at home these apps are indispensable. Keep up the great work, it is appreciated.

Thanks
