Relay: An AJAX Directory Manager…

“Are you fed up with that lame old directory manager your hosting company provided you with for you website or blog? If you are already familiar with windows or mac file browsers, why should you have to change the way you work for the web? Try Relay for a change.”

Relay, a directory manager and file uploader, has been released as open source. I haven’t had a look at the code yet, or attempted to install it myself, but the demo looks good. At the very least, it could be a good base to build upon for other projects.

Javascript/AJAX UI libraries…

This post from Kevin, reminded me that I really need to investigate some of the various JavaScript UI libraries myself.

So far the ones I want to have a play with, including the couple from Kevin’s link, are:

Prototype
Rico, which is built on Prototype
MochiKit
Dojo
Yahoo’s UI contribution
x-desktop and idots2
AjaxTK (added 22nd Feb. Forgot about this one!)

Anyone know any others? Or, has anyone actually used these in a real project?
