Re: web apps and the launcher [was: webapps and the sound menu]

 

Okay so was messing about on the web yesterday and found out that Firefox's
web store existed. Decided to take it for a spin with its HTML5 solitaire
app. Clicked install and it gives me a chrome less window that also had a
launcher item separate from Firefox itself. This was in 12.04.

Needless to say, I think they nailed it. We need to be on their level. When
I launch from the dash, I want that with Unity integration... if I'm just
randomly browsing, it shouldn't have an effect on my launcher.

On my phone so just sending basic link for checking out:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/apps/

Also, I haven't done extensive testing of all apps yet. Will do so when I
have more free time and am basing this email almost exclusively on that
solitaire app.
