Apple's decision may be good news for Runrev but I hope their change of
heart does not distract Runrev from cleaning up RevWeb and releasing
it...please? It just stinks having to use all of these 'groups' vs multiple
stacks. The option menu's need help too. RevWeb is such a great
feature...just needs some clean-up.
Funnily enough, I am extremely grateful to the fact that RevWeb was
"crappy" at the start:
I tried to release a version of my Devawriter as a web-let (Cor! Naive
as a cabbage!); and fell
well foul of the substacks SNAFU.
Went away and "thunk" a lot.
Tried again where all those substacks were implemented as cards.
Fairly awful . . .
Tried again where each substack/card was implemented as a layer of
images where the vis was
tripped back and forth.
Awful revlet . . . but
Significantly more efficient stack to turn into normal standalones.

A long time ago I tried programming on my BBC Micro Master Compact, and,
with
96k RAM, no hard-disk (well, to be honest, I knew what a tape drive was,
but a hard-disk; give
me a break), and Yay-small floppies, one had to do marvels in a minimum
of incredibly
economic code.
Now that we are in the age of bloat-ware, we forget those virtues.
"Crappy" RevWeb forced me to return to them, and for that I will always
be grateful.
