- I hate Comcast too. They really try to make it difficult for you to downgrade their service. When I called their 800 number late one night, I went through all their options and finally selected...

Prism (previously WebRunner): The Future of Web Applications? Maybe.
Started by joshkim · 9 months ago
This post is like a month overdue. Bear with me, because it’s still relevant.
I had started to hate Firefox 2 (on the Mac) a few months back. It was getting bloated and very unstable with multiple tabs open. While I still use it for web development (Web Developer, FireBug ... Continue reading »

Hey. Didn't you deride me about wanting to have a separate "app" for my webapps not too long ago? I'll admit that just from the things you've pointed Prism seems like a more comprehensive solution, but the basic goal is the same as what I was talking to you about - Hana. Although I've now started to use Fluid (Fluidapp.com). Both are really basic apps that use webkit but they all serve a similar purpose, no? There is another one that I used to use called Mailplane, which is an app specifically for Gmail, which is great if you have multiple Gmail accounts.

I actually don't remember when I "derided" you, heh. Can you clarify so I can tyr to see if I didn't know what I was talking about?
About Fluid, it's looks great. I can't get it work, but it seems to be pretty good.
Also, I'm working on another post about desktop vs web applications, so be sure to check that out.

Deride was probably the wrong word.
Fluid definitely needs to be fleshed out and polished. I've got it working with Gmail/Gcal/Facebook right now. It's nice that it uses the icons - too bad the resolution looks really crappy in the dock. Prism still sounds like a more full-fledge solution, so I'll have to look at it sometime soon in the future.
As for webapps - I still like having everything available to me offline. At the very least as a backup if not synchronised. That's why I wish something like Google Gears would roll out more. Of course, even better would be ubiquitous, reliable, high-speed internet access.
PS. The font in the comment text box is small and horrible. Is that something on my end or yours?
