I was able to read the first answer without signing up. And I'm not sure I'd say passively reading is something we ever do on the web. Consider nytimes.com redesign -- it uses app concepts for a sidebar while devoting all attention on the prose in front of you. You can even navigate using arrow keys, though that could be improved: first time I do it, use a popup to let me know what happened and how to undo. The point is, the app-ification of the web is upon us, we just have to find language and frameworks that will best support it. Both client-side and server-side are necessary at points.

The app-ification of the web implies one does something with an app. Something that produces, creates or alters - simply having a easier navigation for reading an article does not to me qualify. I already have a very good framework for reading - text and books. we are going to see a million and one ways of presenting the same article of the same tv show, and one million of them will be crap. the other - who knows. I just hope it's worth living with the million others - I will prefer to avoid them and wait for the one announcement.
