Open Beta: Quick Launch Gadget

Posted in Gadgets, Quick Launch

We’ve been working overtime on our latest gadget to get it working. Introducing the Quick Launch gadget! An incredibly useful gadget that allows a user to add shorcuts, folders, and files to the sidebar for quick access and perusal. Kind of like a really nice version of the system Quick Launch, but with a lot more options. In any case, we have been exterminating the major bugs in the gadget for the past few days and decided to open it up to everyone in limited beta in case there are any more bugs to work out before launch.
