Torii - portal application

Torii logo

Torii is a simple but powerful portal application which easily allows writing and adding new modules. Torii includes full API documentation and an initial set of modules for feed aggregation, weather statistics, system information, todo lists and many more... You can find a list of modules on this website, each with description and a short installation guide.

A demonstration site, which shows you how Torii looks, when called in your browser, is also available.

Key features

The key features of Torii are:

• Browserfriendly

  No massive use of ECMAscript to minimize the required ressources the browser uses to render the portal.

• Fast loading and always up-to-date data

  The initial loading of the portal is fast - very fast, because the actual data is fetched asynchronously later. Depending on the module the data will be refreshed from time to time without reloading the entire site.

• Easy modularisation

  It is very easy to write and integrate your own custom modules.

Unique for Torii

Reasons to prefer Torii to some other portal application may be:

• You do not want companies to be able to aggregate personalized statistics on your feed usage.

• You always wanted to have some special custom module in your portal and couldn't get this integrated with some major portal.

• You do not need all the fancy AJAX stuff but want something well-oiled and modest. You may of course define your own custom style, which makes it possible to configure modules, move boxes around etc.
