(2006-02-16) Nottingham Offline Web App Future

Mark Nottingham on the apparent increase in interest in Off-Line WebApp use. Ideally, I'd like to see offline operation as just an extension of the HttpCaching model. That way, you don't have to buy into someone's application framework to get offline; you just have to get the user to upgrade their browser. A commenter points to the Mouse Hole Proxy Server app which sounds very interesting (Ruby, GreaseMonkey).
