The current version of the program now includes drag and drop functionality of text files from the native desktop straight into the browser desktop or (any of the subfolders). The difference between my drag and drop and all the HTML5 demos that you see on the web is that the dropped files immediately become icons that are integrated into the program. I will soon start working on getting multimedia icons/files working, so you'll be able to drop those directly in too. Then I will probably do a very basic kind of image editing demo that will allow you to change individual pixels or some such nonsense. But I don't want to get bogged down in the details of any particular application, because I always want to stay focused on the big picture of creating a totally powerful and intuitive way to organize our online lives. Anyway, I know I am quite a controversial figure here, but there should be no controversy that this thing is just about ready for prime time. I really do need to start getting interested people on board who would like to help me push the web forward. The basic mission statement for the venture will basically be that the "old web" (HTML4/version 1.0) is dead and gone. If anyone calls in search of help on their Flintstone era <html> documents with all of their <a href> and <div> tags laying about, we'll just point them in an entirely new direction. If they still insist on doing things the old way, we'll just hang up on them… This thing is all about the future! We can easily develop libraries of high-level interface widgets that people just need to attach event listeners to. There will be no angle brackets in sight! <hand><coded><html><markup></is></so></last></millenium>! Come one, come all, for the thrill of your lives :) On Tuesday, September 25, 2012 7:36:37 PM UTC-4, Dennis Kane wrote: > > I was thinking of just responding to this old > thread<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/nodejs/bEhSbsm24Y4>, > > in which I talk about the browser based Desktop that I've been working on, > but the new thing I've been doing for the past week is so superior that I > thought it deserved a completely new thead.
