is this the end of the desktop applications era?
you may ask why i said so. even though i'm a PHP developer, when it comes to large scale projects i always recommended to have it as a desktop application. but now I've changed my mind. web applications was lacking one thing for sure. it was the ability to perform multiple tasks at once. but today this is totally different.
today i've dowloaded the eyeOS.
"eyeOS is an Open Source Web Desktop Environment, commonly known as Web Operating System (Web OS) or Web Office"
it was simply superb. the total file size of the source files was just 1Mb. then i extracted it to "/var/www" and then i opened an web browser and typed "localhost/eyeOS" . and there was a warning message saying that ./etc/ folder needs 777 access level. so i changed the access level and then refreshed the browser window. then it asked for the root password, and it was all.
this is eye candy. for sure.
the eyeOS seems to be the most interesting web application i've ever used. with its endless opportunities i cant even imagine what the web is going to be.
installing applications is really simple. all you need to do is download the eyeOS application from the web and open the "eyeApps" application in the eyeOS menu. and then click "install apps" button placed top-left of that window. and then just link to tar.gz file you've downloaded from the application library.
i'm going to install this in my server. so then i'll be having access to all my files at the same place and i'm getting the authority to manage all my files in one browser window.
