hi prism developer,
it would be nice if in default prism is disabling offline mode.
sometimes webapps only local area network or maybe localhost, and not connected to internet everytime.
thanks

WTF happened to the sidebar? That was about Prism’s only advantage vs. Chrome… It’s ideal for combining Google Calendar and Remember the Milk! Or anything with a related site’s mobile or iPhone version…

/me going back to 0.9.1…

I’m getting a dialog that reads “unresponsive script”… on home.napster.com. Waiting doesn’t work, I have to cancel the script. I don’t get this on FireFox or IE. Don’t know if this is more of a prism problem or the website in question.

I also saw memory usage on grooveshark.com (a flash-based music player) get up to 140 MB before I excited the process. That seems a little steep.

I notice aol.com & pogo.com depend on browser pops that force FF to load separately. Therefore in cases like this, a built in tab bar for the app is required. Chrome has this built in for web apps.

Honestly I don’t like the add-on concept on Prism. My belief is that add-ons should enrich the browsing experience. I don’t see Prism as a browsing experience, but more app-oriented. Maybe extensions will not fit the concept.

What I REALLY want in Prism, is capability of “clean private data”. I haven’t been able to do it since v0.8!

Brilliant, this is great stuff

Is it possible for prisim to be better integrated with Firefox so you have a “make this website an application” option in Firefox, ala Chrome…?

Josh,

Clear Private Data is available to developers but not yet visible in the user interface (we’ll add this).

Thanks! The beta is wonderful!
However I have a problem with the extension install in prism. For example in my firefox I use better-gmail, which is the extension I want to also run in the Gmail app generated by Prism. I got an error in Gmail-app tools-addons: cannot get extensions.

I’m glad to see mozilla diving headfirst into the field of desktop / browser hybrid apps, AIR / Chrome already provide a solid base for things to get rolling, but this is a market that is sorely in need of competition to drive innovation.

Wow congratulations, it looks great. Excited and looking forward to building on the Prism platform.
