Fluid - An App For Mac
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Came across this piece of freeware for Mac OS, such a nice and smart application. With Fluid, you can specified the web app to become an app in Mac OS.
A more simple explanation is, you start this application, you then put in the URL (internet address / domain name) of the web app, for example http://www.gmail.com, and then you put in the name, let say, GMAIL. Then you choose where you want it to create the application, for example save it on the DESKTOP (the OS desktop folder) and you choose the ICON file in PNG/GIF/JPG or ask to use the FAVICON of the site and click OK. Within seconds, a new application will be created and you just run the GMAIL like an application in the Mac.
The advantages to create web app in this way are
1) You make the daily use web app/web site to be open easily, no need to type the same address everytime you use your Safari/Firefox
2) You can have different apps running the same time with different credential, for example I am using GMAIL and Google Adsense in different account but now I can open them at the same time by creating them as applications using Fluid
Oh yes, you may say I can do this by just clicking on the bookmark and just using different browser, but I can see that when web apps getting more popular, then Fluid definitely will be a smart way to keep yourself organized, especially for me
