<>p>Adobe’s AIR runtime gets a lot of press for bringing web apps to the desktop but Mark Finkle’s WebRunner is looking to be an alternative force in this space.WebRunner is a simple XULRunner based browser that hosts web applications without the normal web browser user interface.

- Goggle Calendar
- Google Docs
- Google Groups
- Google Analytics
WebRunner and the webapp bundles are available for Windows, Linux and Mac.

Sweet – and cross platform to boot!!
@ Rey: It looks like a cool project, but with “alternative force” do think a relatively small (but cool) project can provide serious competition to Adobe and Microsoft? As cool as it is, I think it will be more of a niche product.
Very good. I’ve been interested about project like this before 2 years. The major problem is the implementation part if you decide to do project with this – you need to install it on every machine :) Otherwise it’s a nice!
@Jep: The same question was asked when they launched Firefox. I never disregard the little guy. :)
Adobe is pushing its product hard, but let’s not pretend that it’s a completely new and unique thing. There ware already a number of projects for this.
Javeline brought out the first version of deskrun half a year ago. Check out this release article on Ajaxion.
