Introduced: The Workbench homepage
What happens when you are born in 1989 and your uncle gave you an Amiga 500 as your first computer? Logically: you can't get rid of that inside and so you try to express your attachment to your beloved Amiga. Thorn has done that in this case by creating his private Workbench homepage.

The basic idea for this kind of homepage design came to him when he thought about what he as a developer would like to present on his website and how. To simply introduce himself textually, as usual, or to build something from which one can immediately see where the private interest (among others) lies. He decided to go for the second option: a website as an interface with minimal content, but small gimmicks.

Why he named this site 'Lammpee', he doesn't know anymore himself. The project itself is open source, the source code is available on GitHub, and is built on the Nuxt framework.

The links to Nuxt modules contained on the homepage in the folder 'Nuxt Stuff' are mostly privately created and further developed projects, which are also open source. Short info about the modules:

nuxt-custom-elements is used if you want to offer components of your homepage as widgets
nuxt-speedkit is a comparison module to determine the loading speed of a website
gp-vue-boilerplate is a construction kit to create a homepage

The entire web workbench is basically a Vue component made up of many small ones. Nuxt helps here, because it can be used to generate HTML, which is used when there is no Javascript.

But the homepage has even more to offer: for example a Basic web editor that can parse Basic code in real time. It is strongly oriented to the examples on the Extras disk. Other things the reader may explore on his own.

By the way, Thorn's favorite game is Moon City, for which you can also find a branch in the project. As he says, he first has to "put it together" again. (dr)

George Sokianos Relaunch: Skin and Wallpaper archive Amiga-Look.org
Amiga-Look is intended to offer the user a central point of contact for everything he needs to embellish his workbench: Pictograms, themes and background images, but also MUI settings or mouse pointers. The site was last revised in January 2010. In the last few days, George Sokianos has dedicated himself to his site again and writes about the relaunch:

"I am delighted to inform you all that in the last few days I was working on my Amiga-Look website getting a refreshing update. I was waiting for this moment for a long time. After a few years when I kept this website almost disabled, I decided to update it and refactor it completely.

Amiga-Look is one of the first websites I created back in 2007, dedicated to the Amiga community. Here you can find themes, skins, icons and much more content of artwork for our Amiga systems. The goal is to help you beautify your Workbench and also have a place where people can share their creations.

This updated version of Amiga-Look adds a lot more security for all the users, has a responsive fresh look, is super fast and works fine with our AmigaOS web browsers without making your system crawl. No content is lost and all the accounts are still there, so go ahead, log in and upload your new creations.

If in any case, your password doesn't work, try to reset it and follow the email instructions. In case you need more help, please use the contact form at the bottom of the page and get in contact.

Amiga-Look is also a no-trackers website, since no external websites, analytics and sources are used. Also, I enforced the secure connection using the SSL protocol. So, your privacy is truly respected when you visit my little site." (dr)
