Question

Im about to start building some software to manage my college notes, a simple web GUI , which will allow me to create folders for each subject and upload my course notes to those folders so that i have all my notes stored easily online and i can them access from anywhere, rather than go to each lecturers individual page to download them – or more likely hunting them down just before exams 🙂

I’ve a cool domain to host it on, so would open it up for public use, i know a good few people already who would like to avail of this.

My question is, before i start to hand code it, is there anything currently in the market or that can be hacked together to achieve this already?

Check out http://eyeos.com/

eyeOS is a disruptive desktop entirely
usable from a web browser. It
includes an office suite and some
collaboration aplications, as well as
a full framework to develop new web
apps as if they were desktop apps.
It’s Free and Open Source & so you can
host your own system, keeping all
your data under your control.

With just an Internet capable device
you can access all your files, no
matter where you are. That is, just
open your eyeOS desktop in an
Internet café in Paris. Travel to
Sydney and open your eyeOS system from
another computer. It is exactly the
same desktop, with all your documents
and applications available.
