280 North (YC Winter 08) speaks at FOWA

  • 280slides definitely looks sharp, but it seems to be the only application so far that's a working example of a fairly complex web app built on cappuccino. This despite the fact that in the video he claims it's pretty simple to port a mac app onto the web using this framework.

    Has anyone taken a test drive of this framework yet? Know of any good apps out there besides the ones posted at http://cappuccino.org/learn/demos/?

  • Entertaining video, but in the end, giving a few more details about Cappuccino might have been more worthwhile than the anecdotes. As it is, I only took away that yet another framework claims to solve all my problems. Not very convincing.

  • I like the slides app, and it was a good talk, but does the world really need another web framework?

    Is creating a new framework just a way to build a cool community/userbase to sell things to later?

  • YC Winter 08? Starts already? So, 280 North already got accepted?
