Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

Auditor calculator

Submitted by pmlabrier on October 17, 2008 - 1:33pm

I have been using Auditor Calculator as a windows calc replacement for years. I have been using it installed on my PortableApps drive for several months now and it works like a champ. It basically mimics a desktop business calculator and even has a tape that you can print out or copy to the clipborad.

I have been using it installed on my PortableApps drive for several months now and it works like a champ. It would be a nice addition to the PortableApps collection.

Veoh Client for Portable Apps?

Submitted by SilverKnight on October 16, 2008 - 8:25am

Hi, i was wondering if you could develop the Veoh Client for Portable Apps? The veoh client is a useful web browser in which you can access the internet, download and watch films and what not. The reason why i need this, is becuase you cannot install it on comps or a portable device, so perhaps developing it into a portable format, would make it easier to use.

Open Workbench

Team,

I understand that Open Workbench (www.openworkbench.org) has been requested previously. It has some sort of open source licence - but it may be insufficient for this site. One of the guru's here will know. If the whole app cannot be released, then a wrapper would be appreciated.

I have spent the last week or two reviewing a variety of these project management apps - and am of the view that Open Workbench is by far the best if you want a serious (read steep learning curve, but really good) project management tool.

This would make a fine PortableApps addition.

Robocode

I have been interested in Portable Apps a very long time. Through previous experience i do know that not all apps can be made portable. I, however, am unsure of what qualifies a app for portability.

The app that i have recently become interested in is Robocode, which is a programming game where the human player develops AI code for a robot, and then pits his or her respective robot(s) against other robots. It is open source and is on sourceforge at http://robocode.sourceforge.net/

I've seen several requests for Evolution for Windows, but not many available builds, or updated builds of Evolution. Today, I stumbled across this link for building Evolution on Windows, and they also link to precompiled binaries + installer. I found this site directly through the official Gnome Office website, so I'm pretty sure it's a reliable site.

Concrete5

The open source app Concrete5 looks like a great thing to make portable, since it is so much easier to use than other web editors. It's from Sourceforge, so it's also open source and free, making it a great candidate. I think this could be a really great app.
