portableapps platform should download/update new apps

Submitted by Bob Bagwill on March 2, 2010 - 8:35am

It would be useful if the portableapps platform could download and update apps itself. The apps should be digitally signed, and the platform app would download and verify the signature. It would be desirable if multiple versions of the same app could be installed, so new versions could be tested somewhat safely.

Gpredict (satellite tracker)

Submitted by tuxtoolman on March 2, 2010 - 2:11am

Gpredict is a satellite tracking program for free amateur radio communication using amsat satellites and the International Space Station amateur transponder and radio BBS. Somebody with a walkie-talkie type radio can access these satellites if they can make or bring along a portable yaggi antenna.

Travelers might not have their own computer or PDA but do have the radio gear. It would be nice when at a hostel to plug in a usb drive and track or print out the days satellite passes. The satellite passes only last around 10-15 minutes and are hard to predict without a program.

X-Chat 2 [IRC client]

It would be very nice if there would be portable version of X-Chat 2, lightweight and easy to use IRC chat application.

It's open-source, but official Windows build is shareware - but that's not a problem,
there are free unofficial Windows builds, which have exactly same features (except graphical smileys :D) - http://www.silverex.org/news/

It also doesn't uses registry, so I believe it would be easy to make portable version of it.
