Fluid definitely needs to be fleshed out and polished. I’ve got it working with Gmail/Gcal/Facebook right now. It’s nice that it uses the icons - too bad the resolution looks really crappy in the dock. Prism still sounds like a more full-fledge solution, so I’ll have to look at it sometime soon in the future.

As for webapps - I still like having everything available to me offline. At the very least as a backup if not synchronised. That’s why I wish something like Google Gears would roll out more. Of course, even better would be ubiquitous, reliable, high-speed internet access.

PS. The font in the comment text box is small and horrible. Is that something on my end or yours?

About Fluid, it’s looks great. I can’t get it work, but it seems to be pretty good.

Also, I’m working on another post about desktop vs web applications, so be sure to check that out.

Didn't you deride me about wanting to have a separate "app" for my webapps not too long ago? I'll admit that just from the things you've pointed Prism seems like a more comprehensive solution, but the basic goal is the same as what I was talking to you about - Hana. Although I've now started to use Fluid (Fluidapp.com). Both are really basic apps that use webkit but they all serve a similar purpose, no? There is another one that I used to use called Mailplane, which is an app specifically for Gmail, which is great if you have multiple Gmail accounts.</p> Hey.
