Ask HN: Utilities you would like to see resurrected?

4 points_color2 comments

I'm looking for an interesting open source project this summer, and John Grubber's utility Dragon Drop has inspired me. I want to create an intuitive and useful app, but still need inspiration.<p>Is there any utility that you used to have, yet was discontinued, that you still miss to this day? Hopefully something small and lightweight.

Google Notebook.

Google just pushed Docs too hard, but I don't need all that functionality. I want performance, a few basic formatting options and instant saving.

I don't use no stinking sharing either.

- Quanta IDE very web developer friendly - nor or less died with KDE 3.5 - Kooka scanner tool (which incorporated OCR, there is a quite a lack of Linux OCR apps.)
