"apps" are the new "extensions" which were the new "plugins" which replaced "skins" which supplanted "themes". Or something like that.
How long before have to have this conversation:
"Our product needs to support user customization. We need apps!" "We have an extension framework." "But that's not apps!"

The Griffin project introduces a web-based extensions framework for µTorrent to allow for easy extensibility by 3rd party developers through a simple API ... What we came up with is a web-based extensions framework where "Apps" which consist only of HTML and Javascript can be added to the client and displayed using an embedded browser window.
- PidGin128 16y agoµTorrent (many torrent clients infact) have long had their own web interfaces, for managing downloads thru a browser from afar. It sounds like these Apps/Extensions are simply a tidier bundling of the long present webgui [webgui.zip ?]. Technically, I bet all this was possible already, but this likely makes the use more conventional, supported, & easier to setup.
