Everything relies on the [web] browser these days.  Most filesystem browsers can browse web, and vice versa.  It is nice to see someone adapt a terrific tool to a *local* system, using a resource which is on that system only because it is expected to be network-connected.  So, I was wondering how this came to be and why this is a Good Thing -- not so much thinking that this doesn't need a webserver, but that it doesn't need a *network*.

I guess I sorta relate it to the idea that tomorrow someone could release an excellent Make article on turning your automobile into your home power plant or something... use the tool demanded by the road for other purposes, simply subversive :)

I'm also curious about how this runs on say the PSP browser...
How long until someone make nice sync utilities (or did I miss that) to allow continuation on multiple devices?  What other minimal/diminutive devices has anyone used this on?

Why?

PS - the real answer is, because I've always wondered about those who use a lot of terms but not X... and possibly this could be adapted to say gopher, which I keep hearing rumors about, as if it is not a dead parrot.  I love obscure library systems, they offered me my first foray into distant networks and delicious heaps of data... mmmmm, data.
