I haven't posted here in awhile, but I thought that you folks might
find my latest project interesting. It's only tangentially related to
YubNub, but it could definitely be used as a sort of "YubNub portal".
As usual, I love hearing any sort of feedback, positive or negative.

I call it WayStation.
http://yeahway.com/waystation/waystation.html

In a nutshell it's a standalone, portable yubnub clone. It's
completely contained in two files (An HTML file and a JS file), so you
can download it and customize it with your own commands. You can use
it from your hard drive, or upload it somewhere web-accessible.

It doesn't have ALL the features of YubNub (or my own YeahWay), but it
handles the basics just fine. It works best in Firefox or Safari, it
only partially work in IE at the moment.

One cool thing about it is that the commands are loaded via JSONP, and
I've made it easy to import command files from multiple sources if you
wish. For example, I've made it really easy for Yeah Way users to
import their private commands into WayStation on the fly.

It's an open-source project (of course!), so feel free to poke around
under the hood. Let me know what you think, thanks!

Allen

Very nice! I've been thinking of creating a personal YubNub-ish page for
quite some time, but have always postponed it. Now you're provided a realy neat
instant solution.

(And it doesn't even require a server!)

Hi Allen,

I love this idea.  I haven't had much time to play with it yet, but
I'll give more feedback when I get time.

 I just updated WayStation so it will look and work much better on an
iPhone. Clicking on a command name will autofill that command into the
input field. Also, if you add WayStation to your home screen it will
have a cool new icon.

I know I'm a bit biased, but I think it makes for a nice homepage for
surfing the web on your phone.  :)

To upgrade your personal version of WayStation, just hang on to your
customized "waystation-commands.js" file, and then replace
"waystation.html" with the new version. (Advanced users: If you've
modified your html file to import additional command files, make sure
you make those changes to the new file)
