I'm looking forward to trying swallowapps this weekend. I've been working with Maqetta <http://maqetta.org/> for several weeks now and think it'll be interesting to see how they compare in terms of use cases and potential. Personally, I think projects like these are a great idea. In fact, RAD web development was precisely why I began work on what became Atomic OS. (It morphed very quickly into an OS-like abstraction rather than a RAD tool. One day...) -- Scott Elcomb @psema4 on Twitter / Identi.ca / Github & more Atomic OS: Self Contained Microsystems http://code.google.com/p/atomos/ Member of the Pirate Party of Canada http://www.pirateparty.ca/ -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
