I've got my own program I'd like to see working under Puppy, though given it's a public forum, I'll leave this thread for others to have similar say. Is there a program you haven't been able to successfully get going under puppy?

For me, it would be MyPaint from http://mypaint.intilinux.com/
It exists in the Ubuntu-universe repositories, but after "successfully" installing, it turns out to be quite incompatible with puppy due to multiple python-related dependency issues. Along with this program, I'd like to see inbuilt support for pressure sensitive wacom tablets.

Okay then - any other thoughts?

I'd like to have "SaveMy Modem" [smm] [or something like it] able to do all that Mailwasher can do.

e.g.
Able to click on URL's and have the default web-browser take you there.
Able to copy and paste from smm.
Able to set up rules to block spamming domains or addresses or whatever.

I am very curious about Writer's Café or some software of the kind for writers (I've seen Scrivener for Mac and it's a gorgeous toy Smile

).

I'd also like to see a good, easy to use and intuitive old school database for Puppy. The closest thing I have found (and it's quite close) is Portabase, but I have sometimes had problems with the files and lost information. Open Office's Base has also given me problems, and it's harder to configure for everyday use. I've read in this forum that Glom was not compiled because it was too big for Puppy, but I'd give it a try if it is a stable application.

(Another idea: maybe one of those collection managers with -AFAIK- customizable fields, like Tellico or Stuffkeeper, would do as a simple database).

Puppy has nothing to manage collections of what you like. Tellico is a KDE one.
Perharps stuffkeeper one other but with cuztomization of fields possible
Could you do it .
