Wedsite

Wedsites – a blend of the word ‘wedding’ and ‘websites’ – are services that allow people to make their personal wedding pages that are usually dedicated to an impending or recent wedding. These sites can help users communicate with their guests, and share information, wedding photos, and videos with family and friends, while some also offer tools for planning the wedding, including online invitations and attendance trackers, and budget management.

WireNote

WireNote is an organiser that aims to help in the organisation of daily work by helping users keep track of their notes and functioning as a reminder for important events. With WireNote, you can quickly create sticky notes that will appear as small sticker windows on your desktop; you can attach notes to any application window in the system and the note will be visible on your screen only when you work with that application. You can also create ToDos that can help coordinate your activities and hold any text data in one reachable place. The ToDos can be prioritised, and the time spent on them can then be analysed with the ToDo report feature. Reminders can help you perform any desired action at a specified time or by schedule, and you can set reminders to play sounds, display notes or ToDos, send messages to other users, start programmes, or even shut down your computer.
