Opera Unite application of the Week

Web Proxy Opera Unite application

This week's Opera Unite application of the week, Web Proxy, provides remote access to a local Web Server which allows execution of PHP/Perl/Python/etc scripts. This application is useful for developers who want to run and demonstrate Web projects they've been working on! :yes:

We had a chat with the developer and winner, javer from Ukraine, who could tell us a bit more about the future of his application:

"For future versions, I plan to make the application fully configurable through a Web interface - allowing to hide local domains names from external users and configuration of multiple domains on the same application. All in all, I have a lot of cool stuff coming. :smile:"

We are looking forward to future updates and more cool applications from javer.

Applications of our dreams

There are many applications we would love to see created! Here are a few ideas for future Opera Unite applications:

  • Pong! The classic old school game. :cool:
  • A chess simulator. :sherlock:
  • Hangman! Come up with a word and send a link to your friends to see if they can crack it! :lol:
  • Poker. Host your own game of Texas Hold 'Em. chuck norris

Every Monday we will announce a new application of the week. The developer is rewarded a gift card equal the value of a Nintendo Wii. All you have to do is create an Opera Unite application and submit it by 10 AM CET any Friday to enter the challenge.
