Already Portable Editor: HAPEdit

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on April 20, 2006 - 9:42am

The first portable app that I ever used is HAPEdit (HTML, ASP, PHP Editor). This is freeware written by someone in France, but it is not open source.

I have no affiliation to this product other than the fact that I use it. It supports more than just HTML, ASP, and PHP. It also support javascript files, css, more. This really is free, without adware, malware, nag screens, etc. I've used it for more than a year and it continues to be my default php site editor.

I was thinking that this is something that you may wish to add to the editor section of the site. You can find the application at:

Secure Login App and Start Up Menu

Submitted by jbeasley53 on April 19, 2006 - 9:11am

I was wondering if anyone was developing or knew if it was possible to have an app that would require a password when you plug in any usb drive that contains your portable apps. I am using PStart and it is a good menu based option, but is anyone developing a menu started from an auto run.inf file that you can list your apps on that pops up when the computer starts your usb portable drive. Just some ideas I think would be useful to alot of people. I have a Lexar 1 gb drive that uses secure login, but I am not sure if the drive is formated to us it or if something like that can just be loaded on any usb drive?

Eclipse

Eclipse is an SDK for Java. Though I doubt the Java VM itself will ever be portable, Eclipse even now needs no installation. I was thinking that the launcher would find a Java installation on the local machine and add it to the command line argument (Eclipse needs to know where Java is or it will refuse to open). It would work on any Windows machine with Java installed.

Portable App Update Notifier

It would be very nice if we could have a small app we can run in the system tray that checks for updates to all the apps that we currently have on our USB drives from portableapps.com. It would also be nice if it would notify us of any new apps that are released as well.

Portable Windows Emacs!!!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on April 15, 2006 - 10:22am

Is there any reason why the windows version of emacs couldn't be a portable app? I use emacs every day of my life, though i'm often working on other peoples machines. Now most of the time, with windows, a great text editor isn't as ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY as is is under *nix, but i'd love to have the option to use emacs whenever, wherever.

Also, can portable apps b made to work with *nix? If not, why not? I'd love to carry my emacs around with me. I've been tweaking my emacs with .el files and .emacs for almost two years now. its like a warm fuzzy blanket. It would SERIOUSLY be useful to me to be able to have this funcionality on the go . . .

Anonymizer App.

What a great website !!!! Have only been on here a short time but its going to become a favourite I can see.

I came across an advert in a magazine recently for a USB StealthSurfer (http://www.securesurfer.co.nz/), and have been putting one together myself on my USB thumb drive. PortableApps.com has been invaluable in helping me with software.

Going through all the Forum topics, I can not find any link for anything like Anonymizer, which would hide my IP address while online. I came across PeerGuardian, but that seems to block groups of IPs, rather than actually shield my own IP address.
