REBOL/View Viewtop (Distributed Desktop)

What is the Viewtop?

REBOL is a system-independent, lightweight distributed computing platform. It's like a virtual operating system that spans computers on the Internet. The REBOL/View Desktop is a kind of specialized Internet browser that lets you easily see content published by other REBOL users on the World Wide Reb.

Using the Viewtop

The REBOL/View desktop (viewtop) has three main areas.

• The menu bar
  Is across the top. That's how you control your settings, launch other reblets, and get help.
• The bookmark panel
  Is on the left. The icons here are shortcuts, just like bookmarks in a browser. You can edit the bookmarks.r file to add your own shortcuts.
• The main folder panel
  Shows the icons for the current folder (each folder is a Rebsite on the World Wide Reb). To navigate to a new folder or website, launch an application, or view content, just single click the icon for that item. Right-clicking lets you view details about an item.

Creating your own Rebsite

It's easy -- even easier than creating a website. Rebsites are different than websites. Learn more about Publishing on the Reb.
