Apple's open secret: SproutCore is Cocoa for the Web
SproutCore is an open source, platform-independent, Cocoa-inspired JavaScript framework for creating web applications that look and feel like Desktop applications.
Why, why do people think this is a good idea? Why make a crappy copy of a desktop app just so it can be a web app? If you’re gonna run in the browser, use the browser like a browser is meant to be used. If not, you’re better off building a standalone application that communicates with a server. (You know, that is possible.)
About
Daily Meh is written and edited by Simen (contact me). It is, basically, about whatever interests me. Some things that have held my interest over time: philosophy, photography, logic, the internet, pop culture, not-at-all-popular culture, computer science, linguistics and speculative fiction. Among other things. You might also like to know that I live and go to school in a small town in Norway.
