What web apps would you like to see available?

Post by mzs112000 »

There are TONS of "Web Apps" written in HTML5, and JS, and loads more that you use the web browser to access.
I am starting a project to get some of these packaged as DEB files, this means that you can get to them using your start menu.

I would like to know what ones you want to see.

If you dont like web apps, or the "Big evil" or "m$" or whatever, thats fine but dont comment in this thread, this thread is ONLY for people who DO want these web apps(your average computer user).
Although some people may be diehard OSS fans, most people are just normal computer users, who wont want to use Linux unless their favorite app runs, they dont want any of the "advanced" or "technical" items in the software center, they dont care about if its "GNU", "Free Software", "Non-free", "Proprietary" or not, they want it to do what they need and JUST WORK.

Do you have some examples? I haven't a clue why I would need to have a .deb file for a "web app"; can't I just use my browser to use the app?

The one advantage I can imagine would be for offline/standalone use. However, for this to be worthwhile, the app in question must make sense as a locally-stored application. If the whole idea of the online app is to share results via social media or gather data from online sources for further manipulation, then browser-based operation makes much more sense.

betatest3, we really would like to see examples of these web-based apps that you envision putting in a .deb package.
