Is there an actively developed "Gadgets" application?

[richierich1986]

I'm looking for something like Google Gadgets,
gDesklets, Screenlets, which isn't ancient and
is still being updated etc.

Maybe the time for this has simply passed, but
I find those little gadgets extremely handy and
Screenlets seems just so outdated, let alone
gDesklets, with only a hand full of gadgets,
or Google Gadgets, which hasn't been updated in
over 4 years.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
