Simple CMS in PHP, designed for art/design portfolio sites. No database, just text files and directories.

As a user, I'm inclined to agree with Aaron. I've been an early user/beta tester of plenty of stuff, and I'd much rather the slow approach of contributing bug reports, inviting people who I think would also like and enjoy the app, ending up with something well-tuned and usable. With "Hollywood" apps, I'll sign up, find bugs but get no response from the developers, because squillions of other users are reporting the same problems, then, more often than not, decide that, despite the hype, I don't really need the app after all - the result is that I'll either tell no one about the app, or slag it off (partly my fault for being a trend slurper, but still...). The prime example of a slow burning launch is Flickr, which was pretty rubbish when I started using it (back when it was basically a GNE spin-off chat room with image-sharing options), but gradually improved to the point that I was pretty much begging my friends to sign up.

This would seem to be a bloody remarkable application. The facility for text searching images is particularly cool (business cards/wine labels/handwritten notes snapped with a webcam all worked well for me). At last, computers can fix my fried memory!

Flsh-based online word processor. Very slick, to the point that it feels like a 'real' application.

It's about web apps.

A WebKit-based browser. Really rather slick.

"eHub is a constantly updated list of web applications, services, resources, blogs or sites with a focus on next generation web (web 2.0), social software, blogging, Ajax, Ruby on Rails, location mapping, open source, folksonomy..."

Ultra-minimal todo/organistion web app. If you could email to it a la Backpack, it'd be perfect for me.

"It clusters results from major search engines, associates words that appear in previous searches, and keeps a local cache of all the results you click on in a searchable database."

I'm a Photostack man myself, but this looks good - cross-platform, simple to use.

I doubt I could get it running at this point, but the XML/XPath/XSL approach is very interesting.

Alternative browser, interesting history stuff
