"Installable" web-app with Adobe Air?
I have开发者_StackOverflow社区 a website that would ideally be accessed by users who have downloaded and installed it as "software"... I know i can create an "Application Shortcut" in Google Chrome to allow me to access my web-app in a window that does not resemble a web-browser (i love this by the way and it would work perfectly if it did not require a full install of Chrome). The problem is that i am not sure of a way to re-distribute GoogleChrome with a pre-configured application shortcut like this. I have also read a bit about Mozilla Prism which seems similar. After reading over some options, it looks like AdobeAIR is my best bet. I have not yet worked with it, but it looks like I can create a downloadable executable that will contain a web-based interface. This seems ideal, but all the documentation i have read thus far seems to make it sound like all the resources need to be locally included within the distribution. Can i just create an "empty" AdobeAIR frame that contains my live (server) website? Having never worked with AIR, is this reasonably easy to do (just a matter of setting up an iframe or something)? I do not want any content stored locally on teh user's computer, as it is a constantly changing data set.
AIR has badge installation option, and you can author content in js for it. There is also full-featured browser control in AIR (webkit-based), so it seems AIR has everything you need.
