Lynx Viewer – Text-mode Web Browser

It’s worth running pages through a text-only browser, or text-browser emulator to see what e.g. a blind person using a text-to-speech converter will encounter. It will help you pick up on badly chosen or missing ALT texts for example. It also shows you the site pretty much as a search engine will see it. Incidentally the Opera browser has a built-in text-browser emulator.

Lynx Viewer is a web service allows web authors to see what their pages will look like when viewed with Lynx, a text-mode web browser.

Collabtive – Open Source Collaboration

Collabtive – Open Source Collaboration is an open source project manager written in php and Javascript. You can download the sources and upload it to your server.

I started differents projects and for each one I need to have a to do list and an overview of the state.
I uploaded Collabtive into my server I start using it. I found it very simple to use, easy to install and graphically nice. One interesting feature is the ability to creates different tasklist for every projects, like: to do, fixes or new features. For every tasklist you can create task, for each one you have to set a title and a “due date”, the thing that is missing is a priority level.

Collabtive project management it’s not perfect but satisfies all my needs, I recommend it to everyone.
