Hi all,
I recently discovered this website, and got some real nice and handy apps running on my USB-stick.
I especially like the XAMPP module. Keep up the good work!
To business;
Since i'm a programmer myself, PHP/VB/Delphi, I want to contribute to portableapps.com.
At the moment I have a great idea for a portable application. After reading the "Development" area, still some questions arise.
1) How do I actually get my app up and running on your guys' site?
2) Every applications has a splash-screen, do I add the splash-screen myself, or does portableapps.com add the splash-screen and compile the code? Any template?
3) Can I use every programming language?
Thx for the replies!
grtz, Joost

1. You email John and get him to add it. He hasn't gotten back to me yet though. (He's very busy.) I have my own website where I list my portable applications. Many people do it that way.
2. You add it to the code. You can make your own or have John send you the template.
3. Here almost everyone uses NSIS. I personally use AutoIt. I don't know if using NSIS is required for apps hosted here.
