the one about web versions, Part I: Application
Wed 21 Feb 2007
95% percent of my computer use at home involves the network. Since getting OmniWeb (which lets you manage browsing), I’ve been finding more ways to drop other applications in favor of web apps.
Joyent Connector
Joyent is an suite of web apps for email, calendar, contacts, and bookmarks. Although it’s currently missing some interface patterns that we’ve all come to expect in email (e.g., message threading), it shines in bringing tagging and sharing to email.
Newshutch
Newshutch is a web-based feed reader. I used to use Vienna, but I like the simplicity of Newshutch’s interface and I like not having to launch a separate application. The AJAXy interface gets a bit jittery at times, but that might well be my browser (Joyent has problems with OmniWeb, too).
