Opera Unite developer's primer
Opera Unite puts a Web server inside your Opera browser, allowing you to share files and applications with your friends and colleagues directly off your hard drive! This tutorial shows you how to get started on the road to Opera Unite Service development by making a simple Opera Unite blog service. It introduces some of the basic ways of interacting with the web server and how to start creating Opera Unite Services.

I hope that Unite will soon support IPv6 so that the Opera proxy is unnecessary!

Oh god, global warming trolls on a web browser dev site. Tisk tisk.
Really though, people leave their machines on all the time, might as well use that power to do something productive rather than indexing the hard-drive over and over.
Good primer, but really short. I guess it's time to dive more into the API.

It seems that Unite means more of the action you want to be involved into.
For example telling your friend:
Listen to the new album I have NOW, look my new photos NOW, let's chat NOW, look my awesome html pages NOW. The Fridge however does not have that NOW feeling, so I would say it doesn't actually suit Opera Unite.
All the other things however means you can turn off your computer later and the services should run only temporarily.
This also means, Unite is meant for quite small concurrent users not for serving 1000 people at once.
That's how I see it.

Great tool!
I hope that the final version of Unite will work as own process in the task list (Windows).

response.write('<!DOCTYPE html>'
+ '<html><head><title>'+entry.title+'</title></head>'
This allows XSS. All plaintext strings used in response.write must be HTML-escaped, and I'm disappointed that article doesn't even mention that.

Very good point. I've added a note to the article to cover this. Thanks!

I have just been talking to an Opera friend who installed Opera Unite. She invited me to talk to her in her lounge. We have been doing that. The concept is great, but there were a few bugs.
One. About half the comments I typed and sent were not delivered. Guess they are floating around somewhere in cyberspace.
Two. The thing just quit working and logged us out. Would have had to log back in and start all over.
Buggy

Energy use is a valid concern, but it is mostly a user issue, not a developer issue. This has been discussed in
another thread, and may warrant a thread of its own. As far as energy use is involved, only marginal use matters.
In other words, will people keep their computers on more if they use Unite, and will the energy use increase while using it? Apart from the planet and the electicity bill, it will matter for battery life.

The proxy is only a fallback in case NAT traversal fails.

I've fixed it now! This page was changed before release, and I forgot to change the URL ;-)
Thank you.

I think this has potential, but it must allow integration of existing servers.
How can I from a Unite service interact with a regular Web server hosted anywhere else on the Web?
Nevermind, I just figured out you can basically use any JavaScript, including XMLHttpRequest and some JSON library.
