Turn any webapp into a deskapp in an instant.
Today Mozilla labs announced a major update to the Prism Project including what was originally code-named Refractor a Firefox extension that automatically spins any website into a desktop Prism application from inside the Firefox web browser as easily as accessing a menu “Convert Website to Application”
I think this component to the Prism project is particularly important to the ‘websites as applications’ philosophy, not least because it will ultimately show what end user appetite is like for spinning out frequently used web apps like gmail, facebook, twitter et all.. as applications.
With the prism Add-on for Firefox 3 you can make any website run line an application on your desktop complete with its own desktop icon, tray icon, and stand alone profile for passwords, cookies etc..
