This is great! Simple, Straight forward and easy to use. A nice compliment to the the desktop utility (HTML5) at http://workola.com. I'll add this link to my desktop.

workolaon Ask HN: Am I the only one who can't create a startup at the weekend?

I've been working on my startup for over a year. It would be nice to have the skills and resources to create a site in a weekend but I don't and I've accepted the fact that my projects will just take longer. For me, it actually slows the development process down and lets the idea mature a little, giving me time to make decisions that are well thought out. I've also been able to reminded myself many times that if it's not cool or functional it doesn't matter how fast it was built. Plus, building it's just the first step. If anyone has any successful 'over the weekend' marketing plans please send them my way.

Thanks for the feedback! Currently working on the overall presentation but I would compare the functions of Workola to that of a modern day briefcase. Users can store and share files (folders), add rss feeds (newspaper) and create online notes (sticky notes with email backend). Users can also create multiple projects to organize their feeds, tasks and ideas more efficiently.

The 'Tools' section adds a very modular dynamic to the desktop in that you can add your own code or any widget code you find on the web to customize your desktop. Tools are loaded into their own container so you can run a tool and multi-task with the other features on your desktop. I built the Toolbox to offer what I thought would be the baseline widgets a general user would be interested in.

I also added a few others tools to the 'Desktop' that provide what I would consider to be the baseline utilities for online life, Photo/Graphic editor (Pixlr) and online chat (ebuddy).

Workola also offers a mobile time tracker app that you can sync with dropbox and share between your mobile and desktop environments.
