The RGraph blog has been updated
Written by Richard Heyes, RGraph author, on 21st November 2022"How has it been updated?!" I hear your shout in unison. Well, the blog has been changed from having one page per year - with all that year's news on that page - to having a directory for each year and then each article is on a single page.
I think this will help a lot with seo
and the
indexing of the blog because this format is more
in line with Google's advice - which I've craftily
been ignoring in this case.
All of the articles and release notifications have
been preserved - so no information has been lost or
removed. The underlying html has been
tidied up as
well so if I choose to make the blog entirely
dynamic (which I'm currently mulling over) - it
should be easier to do.
Vwebmail resurrection?
On a separate matter, I doubt that anyone will be
familiar with it - but
around 2001 - 2006 I used to make and sell a webmail
application called Vwebmail (and if I'd
sold it at a reasonable price it might well have been
more successful).
It was php based and talked directly to
your imap or pop3 email
server, showing you the contents of your mailbox.
Well, I've been reminiscing over it and looking
at the code for it with a view to restarting
development of it. Or perhaps just starting
completely anew and just use the name. The idea that
I have is to still talk to an imap or
pop3 mail server but immediately
download the mail to where-ever the Vwebmail
application resides (ie your webserver) and read and
manipulate the email from there. For example store
the inbox list of emails as a json file
which can be easily and quickly read to present you
with the list. But I haven't though about it much...
Sadly, I don't think I'll have the time or the required level of enthusiasm to see the project through to completion. So it's all just pie-in-the-sky at the moment. It would also mean spending less time on RGraph just when it's about to suddenly break into the bigtime (I'm sure of it...) and that's not something that I'm prepared to do.
So for now it's just my bored musings about an application that, with a little more thought, could have been big. In my eyes at least...
