Feels like we're back in the days of the Apple ][, only with a much, much smaller monitor. Things I'd like to see done in the URL bar using the History API:
• Rogue-like text adventure game
• Hitchhiker's Guide
• A reading app with page-turning animation
• Color
Whoever cracks that last one, mega kudos. Woz, you around? Feel like doing some magic?
It's also tempting to ask for a text-editor, but then, we sort of already have that!
That gave me a good laugh! If it is of any interest, in the following video which was posted a while back on HN, Steve Wozniak tells how he co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs, and amongst other things, how he hackishly brought color computing to the Apple 2:
Seriously. When you have a thought like that, first ask yourself, how often have you told the same story to 4 different people? Then ask yourself how many of your stories any casual acquantaince has heard 4 times.

(You'll have to forgive me since I don't have time to search exactly where in the video he talks about adding color.)
It's about 15 minutes in that he starts talking about colour. I'm watching it now.
I think i've heard that speech at four different conferences. Woz needs a new story.
I don't think Woz needs to prove anything to anybody.

Have you heard the one about the $2 bills?
I haven't.
Porting ed to the URL bar would be a triumph!
Just change it to read ? and most people wouldn't know the difference :-)
