I’m working on a new side-project which I think will be fairly useful for all you Windows users out there. It’s called PowerTray. The idea behind it is to have an application which will allow you to do many of your often-repeated tasks quickly and easily and at the touch of a hotkey.
That in and of itself is nothing groundbreaking… but what PowerTray also has is an open plugin API which will allow other developers to create PowerTray plugins and continue to make the application more useful over time.
