StartPage: A widget container
A while ago, we had a sample application called "start" available for download on this site. That app allowed the user to create a simple "start page" using HomePortals, and was built with the intention of showing how HomePortals could be used to integrate multiple 'widgets' or modules on the same page. The application eventually got removed cause I didn't kept it in sync with the changes in HomePortals.
So, fast forward until today, the application is now again available for download. The app is now called StartPage and it is now much improved. The current version allows to have multiple users. Each user can have their own "microsite" in which they can aggregate widgets.
The goal is now to provide a sample or baseline to show how this types of applications can be built with HomePortals. So developers that are looking to build their own widget containers can use StartPage as a starting point and then change the content, layout, available modules, or anything else that they can think of.
StartPage can be found on the 'Downloads' section of this site, and requires only HomePortals 3.2 to work. Other than that, just unzip into a directory called "Start" and you are good to go.
Have fun, and let me know what you think.
