I've actually implemented the full-blown web app part (it's called Site Specific Browser) for Browse as part of GSoC. The offline bit can be done either with LocalStorage (html5, but it's been around since Firefox 2.0) or Gears. So new offline-able web apps can target html5, existing web apps already use Gears (which needs more work for Browse).
The other features are more invasive so I'm trying to make individual patches for each of them. This is the first one because it's the most useful on its own and it's been requested for a long time. 2009/11/10 Martin Langhoff <martin.langh...@gmail.com>: > On Sun, Nov 8, 2009 at 4:17 PM, Lucian Branescu > <lucian.brane...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Besides being able to save pages for offline use, this patch will also > > Question on this track (perhaps OT)... do the "HTML5" specs have > something in this regard? > > IIRC (from an in-depth reading done 3 months ago) the "offline" > extensions have a simple facility (that looks a lot like what you're > working on) as well as the full blown show of offline webapps that > Gmail uses. > > If it's done in an HTML5 compatible way, love will spread and ponies > will prance in the prairies...
