Jury,

Nice app. The concept of running your desktop application as a local
Web server and providing UI using Web browser is not new, but the
execution sure is ingenious. I like the attention to details, such as
intercepting mouse wheel events to provide scrolling through pages,
and the page view itself is pretty darn cool. I haven't looked at it
thoroughly, but the architecture looks interesting.

However, all the clever tricks aside, I can't help by think that
developing an app that simulates a Web server and then delivers UI in
DHTML on the desktop is a little like trying to get from San Diego to
Seattle by way of New York. What is your story? Why not develop using
native Windows GUI?
