Apps.gov is an online storefront for federal agencies.

I know that we’re in a recession, and I don’t mean to nitpick such a huge technical/political advancement, but what happened to the guys who designed whitehouse.gov?

This is clearly only meant for official use, but if we can see it, there’s no reason to hold back criticism: I’m seeing unnecessary images and flash, tiny font size, annoying horizontal scroll bar (only in Safari, of course), Trebuchet (for the logo?!), cheap stock images, etcetera, etcetera.

Wow, this is pretty awesome. I work with various federal agencies and am amazed at how little they share resources, even within the same agency. This seems like a huge step in promoting reuse of resources.
