Heh. I applied to SFP05 with an idea that was essentially this. I wonder if I should've stuck with it instead of getting a job.

Ah well. My current startup's a lot of fun, and I'm much less likely to give up on it than I was fresh out of college.

FANTABULOUS!

It's always exciting to right-click on such an app and find out it doesn't actually use flash!

It's just a small part of much bigger picture actually :-).. (http://www.april-child.com/temp/ior/).

Shame I had to stop real-time collaboration for now due rewriting some parts of the server-side code.

That's really impressive work, and you seem to have written it from the ground up using your own framework :)

Have you had any problems getting the AIR versions to run?

nope, it works like a charm, with access to local files as a bonus. I'm just waiting for AIR supporting OS menu and fixing some quirks in their webkit engine on Mac (bad key event handling mostly, weird it works on Win..).
