I think this is a great idea. Something about the feel of applications that have deep interaction with web-based resources but also desktop-level control and precision over their interfaces inspires a lot of nostalgia and satisfaction for me. I guess my main examples are file sharing and the first desktop RSS reader + blogging app I used. I get that those things are still around, but I think treating this as a systematic way of looking at the web and apps may help to recapture something that I think has been lost from user experience when everything moved to the web and phones.
