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!
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."
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:

We appreciate good design, but sometimes content is king, and this blog is one of our favorites. We love how she highlight designers and artists she find interesting!
Although she spend a lot of time reporting on other people's work, she also sparks off interesting discussions. Like her Picasso story proved.
Her posts are mostly about design, but she also knows a thing or two, as her design portfolio proves!
Put your hands together for our Spanish graphic designer Henar!
