- WeatherView Widget (ALPHA)
- License: Freeware

---------------------------
This is a set of App Widgets (that can sit on your desktop/launcher screen) and show you the temperature and precipitation forecast, so you can make at-a-glance decisions about things like:
1) "Should I bring a sweater for tonight, even though it's warm out right now?"
2) "It's sunny now, but is there a chance of precipitation later in the day, so I should bring an umbrella just in case?"
3) It also has access to an animated radar map (a single tap away), to help you make even shorter-term decisions like: "Should I run to the subway *now* or does it look like this storm cloud will pass soon and I should wait?"
Another handy though potentially not weather-related feature is that you can customize what should happen when you tap each of the corners or the middle of each widget.

Application launcher Magic Formation adds a circular dock that can be triggered by hotkeys or mouse gestures - just draw a circle on the desktop to make it show up. Using the application is fairly simple - just invoke it with your mouse gesture; adjusting the mouse gesture sensitivity through the options dialog is probably necessary to trigger the dock more easily. There are plenty of other advanced options in the preferences, from using a hotkey to trigger the dock to assigning a mouse key instead - making this interesting application worth a look for anybody in the market for a better application launcher.

- DrubNub
- License: Freeware

This module provides functionality similar to sites such as Yahoo! Open Shortcuts, YubNub, Quix, or Queriac. DrubNub allows users to create search shortcut "commands" that perform search queries. Users enter commands along with search terms into the "DrubNub Command Line" form and are then redirected to a search results page, even results on third party sites. For example, the built in g command performs a Google search. Entering g Drupal into the DrubNub command line will redirect the user to the Google search results for the term Drupal. Click on the thumbnail to view a brief (animated gif) demo of the module in action.

- Smart Application Launcher
- License: Shareware

SmartLauncher is a non intrusive application updater and launcher. It can update the desired application or the entire local application repository from a remote application repository. It is designed to work without having to integrate it during the development process. It is executed when the user clicks on the application shortcut from the start menu, or directly from the application launchpad. (See the documentation for detailed information)
Why spending time in developping such a tool when ClickOnce exists? Simply because ClickOnce is restricted to .NET programs and is directly integrated into the binaries: it does not embed them.
