Fluid is an awesome app. It lets you create custom standalone os x apps for websites (site specific browsers). However, it's not very good at letting you share your work. If I create my own customized app, there is no way for me to share it directly with my friends. Instead, I have to give them a long list of instructions and hope they can make it work. Here's an example from
peterkrantz.com:
- Download and install Fluid.
- Create a folder called “twoot” in your home directory.
- Download and unpack the twoot html, js and css files in the twoot folder.
- Edit twoot.js and set your twitter username and password.
- Open Fluid and create a new app by selecting the twoot.htm file and set a nice icon.
- Save the app as “Twoot”.
- Your new twitter client is ready! Run it and resize as required, set the window to floating, kill tabs etc. Change the twoot.css and html file to customize it further. Adding an automatic refresh method could be the next step.
Wouldn't you rather see instructions that looked more like this?
