Very nice, and definitely a Google App feel to it. I can see dojo etc. there too. It's fast and I like the red Loading... message, just like google.
Thanks Gavin. I'm glad you like it and that it's snappy for you. Keeping the performance acceptable was a big design objective. Is this a closed app? It is closed for now but that may (or may not) change in the future. There are a number of reasons why it may be pre-mature to open. I think it would be more beneficial to start opening some of the underlying libraries and adding functionality to some existing Perl modules, both of which would be of more general use. Also, a number of architecture / design departures were made from standard practices so some discussion and proving is needed. A while back I put together the following slides about what I learned from building this project so far. I'd like to see if the ideas in there are generally useful and if / how they could work with a higher layer of abstraction, e.g. Reaction, which would also provide more broad ranging benefits. http://www.dev411.com/slides/webappdesign.xul It would be great to hear what people thought about the slides as well. -- John Wang http://www.dev411.com/blog/
