I almost forgot one of the best of all the online tools I know, an
online PDF viewer, no acrobat or anything else needed :
http://view.samurajdata.se/

it's a bit slow, but it works great, just converted a 248 page
tutorial about javascript, see :

I'm very, very impressed. Now I just need an online word processor!
(Well, Blogger ain't bad, but I mean something that can save .doc
files).

Is it better than Babelfish? I've found Babelfish to not work in some
cases.

Have you gotten the saving to work? Nothing seems to happen when I
press Load or Save. Oh well -- still a very cool program and on my
list of faves.

The save does work, just edit the document a bit , press save , edit
the document some more and press load, your first edited document will
come back !
However you can save only 1 document like this

For a word processor, haven't found one yet although I think this one
comes pretty close:
Only works in IE: http://www.layoutland.net/Editor/start.htm

An other html editor:

Also Blogger has a nifty WYSIWYG editor (font, bold, italics, center).
But Blogger is a blog service, which isn't exactly a word processor as
you can't save .doc files (but I'm starting to use it as a replacement
for my word processor where possible) -- http://jonaquino.blogspot.com

I think I've caught up with all the recent Webware recommendations.

Apologies - I've been "rearranging the furniture" - the directories/web
pages on the web site and haven't had a lot of time to work on this page.

Nice, and it works also on Mozilla !

Found yet another online tool, a paint-like image tool:

I'm so impressed! Paintbrush in my browser! MyLinksAdmin, where do you
find these gems? And do you have a website/blog so I can keep up to
date on your thoughts?

Have you checked out these wonderful web-based desktop-app
replacements?

Wow, sounds realy good !

I found most of these programs on yahoo with search strings like
"online html editor", "online tool", "online editor" , etc

My last finds, a class-diagram modeler for my Java programs:
http://www.gskinner.com/gmodeler/app/run.html

An online zipping program
If you select Gzip as compression and no preprocessing
than the result wil be a winzip file :

Wow, I am so impressed with the online UML modeler! The zip program is
neat too. FYI I am collecting all sorts of online tools in my Firefox
sidebar (http://www.geocities.com/jonathan_aquino/bookmarks.html). The
cool thing about this page is that you can actually use it as your
sidebar in Firefox -- bookmark it, then in its bookmark properties
select Load This Bookmark In The Sidebar. So for text-to-speech, you
would select some text on a webpage then click TTS.

Another on line bookmark program

Did anyone mention Yahoo! Toolbar (has bookmarks), or is that too
obvious?
Oops maybe thats not truly online.

I wish they Yahoo! would make the Firefox version official, the people
trying to port it seem to be having a kinda rough time.

Congrats -- pricelesswebware made it into the del.icio.us popular
list: http://del.icio.us/popular/2004-08-13. Hooray!

(del.icio.us is probably the most popular web bookmarking service.
Being on this list means that lots of people have bookmarked the site
because they found it interesting.)

Yes indeed, this thread was the subject of a popular (315-comment)
Slashdot front-page article:
http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/08/12/1948219&tid=185&tid=95&tid=4&tid=218<br />

Cyde, sounds like you were hoping some Slashdotters would contribute
suggestions to this thread. I was also hoping. I guess they preferred
to add their suggestions to the Slashdot article directly.

Some of their suggestions that were interesting to me were:

http://www.upcoming.org/
"Upcoming.org is a collaborative event calendar, completely driven by
people like you. Enter in the events you're attending, comment on
events entered by others, and syndicate event listings to your own
weblog." Hmm - I wonder if meetup.com is better - I think it's more
popular.

A few Slashdotters said this was a better text-to-speech than our AT&T
one. Not sure -- it's a bit slow anyway.

http://neospeech.com/demo/demo_text.php
Another text-to-speech suggested by a Slashdotter

http://pkt.sourceforge.net/
Seems to be an online (Java WebStart) archiver. Says it's compatible
with zip format, although it has its own primary format. I was
confused with the GUI - looks feature-rich though.

http://www.chatzy.com/
"Chatzy is a free private chat service. Fill out the form to create a
chat room immediately - only for you and the people you invite!" Looks
simple and good - wish I had a use for it.

http://jguitar.com/
"JGuitar is a set of useful tools for players of stringed instruments.
JGuitar's powerful chord and scale calculators replace traditional
chord and scale dictionaries by providing dynamic calculation which
works for any stringed instrument in any tuning."

Um ... text-to-*song*, anyone?

http://www.rhymezone.com/
Finds words rhyming with what you type in.

http://www.motionnet.com/texttools/
Sort by line, sort by word, uppercase, lowercase, add bullets, add
line numbers, convert to HTML, remove carriage returns. I wish this
worked with Firefox!!

Web interface for Mathematica running on someone's box! I like how you
can type in functions to plot on a graph.

Thanks Jonathan.

I have a few others to add too - from the acf program pages. Update

I've uploaded revised Webware and Links pages:

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/Webware.php

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/Links.php

I found the URL for the online *color* OCR app - sometime that's not
available as a downloadable app. Added other new goodies from recent
posts, the acf Program pages etc.

The Webware page is filling up fast. Please check the web page before
making a recommendation - the URL may already be there.

I'd like some feedback. Are a couple of URLs enough for each type of
webware? I'm leaning toward the idea that this page should stay fairly
lean and mean. I'd like more discussion on what *should* be there before
I proceed much further.

OTOH the links page seems too bare to me - please take a look and
suggest other links to information pages or newsgroups - links that
you've recommended in ACF posts and feel are especially valuable. . .

Suggestions for links for the Search Tips page are welcome too. . .

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/SearchTips.php

TIA

"free. receive-only. email. no set up. rss." (And probably the
simplest, most powerful user interface I have ever seen). (Well, other
than Google).

"Access and manage your private, shared or public bookmarks from any

This is both a service, and a server. You can use theirs, or add it
to a site you are hosting and start your own server. Very very useful
for bookmarks, esp. when traveling without a computer.
