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/?
I'm working on porting a desktop app over to Cappuccino. It's important to remember that Cappuccino doesn't include all of the components found in the Cocoa frameworks yet. This makes it a little hard to port an app over directly.
For example, I just spent my weekend writing a few hundred lines of tableview code, since that's one of the classes that's missing from the framework. For my app, tableviews are essential.
I wouldn't expect my port to be done before December. Moving a desktop app over to the web isn't just a matter of slapping it in a browser. Some things have to be fundamentally redesigned to fit within a browser window.
Well I think its worth noting that the framework's only been out for about a month. Only so many people will have had time to even take a look at Cappuccino yet, much less create something new with it. Not to mention, 280 Slides is, as you said, a fairly complex app. Something of that complexity can't be put together overnight, even with Cappuccino.
