Yeah. I mean, I like a lot of the innovation on the web, but that's just it - innovation. I see a lot of these apps wasting resources to look and feel like a desktop, and I wonder - why? The Internet can do more than that. It's open to direct URL access. You can make a site that does one thing and does it well and have it much more convenient and accessible.

- unalone 18y agoWhat App Engine sites would you recommend? I'll be honest: I don't know if I've ever seen one in action.
