In my opinion, there *still* aren't any "web apps" around, hahaha :) When I think about an "app", it's gotta look and feel just like a desktop thing. Yeah, my project is real small right now, but I'm about to put something up that's pretty mindblowing. It's a kind of realtime, distributed community programming thing. I want it to be a combination of stackoverflow + github on steroids. You'll be able to dynamically update the Javascript that runs the site. Working code can now be deployed from my local console text editor to the remote clients in a small fraction of a second. It's all pretty hairy at the moment, but I should be able to smooth things out real nice in the next few days. I'm really investigating the possibility of an entirely new paradigm of programming... I must just go nuts in the process, though :P!!
