Fluid

I can't be the only computer user who thinks there are diminishing returns on having a gazillion browser tabs open. Even with TreeStyleTab in Firefox, it's difficult to make switches clean and easily and I find the desktop's app-switching metaphor fighting with the browser's tab metaphor in my brain. Fluid is not the only appify-your-webapp application out there, but it's by far the best.

I use fluid along with the helvetical scripts for google calendar and google reader. I also use it with gmail and google docs and wish there was a helvetical script for those. Come to think of it, google should just acquire Jon Hicks and Ad Taylor and fix gmail. It's a shame they are so engineering-centric, but amusing that users just route around them with user scripting.

But I digress - fluid hits the ball so far out of the park, I think it went into orbit.

Fluid + Evenrnote + This User Script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/40383) = Perfection

Useful application for creating separate "browsers" for websites that you use like applications. Similar to using tabs, but more useful because, for example, you can program Quicksilver to open GMail when the computer starts. Then if your regular browser crashes, you still have your email box open. Highly recommended for sites used all the time/often kept running in the background and referred to frequently. (And it's very easy to use.) Only downside is that with some websites, the application will open links in a regular web browser, which can be annoying.

This combined with Google reader, is really the only way I reads my RSS these days ;D

Nothing short of perfect!

Great app to make your life easy. It's just like having an desktop application for Gmail, Facebook, Google Docs, managing your personal website, etc and leaves your browser free to do other stuff.

Only thing too bad is that every instance of a Fluid SSB (site specific browser) uses the same session. So you can't use it to for instance have several Gmail or other accounts on the same site open :'(

Man I love this app. It's smoother than Mozilla Prism, you can use browser features in it and you can make a menu item out of a web app (don't ask, just try).

Now I use Google Analytics, Clicky, Google Docs and phpMyAdmin s desktop apps > big perssonal efficiency win.

Fluid has lots of options you can set for each "App" you create, and has been very stable for me.

Use Fluid to produce a App like interface for FriendFeed, does the job brilliantly, Does it exactly as you think it would, integrates 1password, brilliant feature set.

Great application. I currently use it for GMail. Wish that wakoopa recognized that fact though.

I use more and more web applications every month to run my business. However, I find the browser is not always the best place to use them. Fluid lets you create a standalone app for a web site. It's a wrapper around Safari webkit. The nice thing is that you get a separate icon for the app in the dock so you don't have to go hunting through browser tabs to find the one you want.

Perfect solution for Zimbra Mail. Lower memory footprint than Firefox and Safari.

I've been using Fluid to create site-specific browsers for some of my most frequently trafficked sites. It helps cut down on the number of tabs I have open in Firefox at any given time, and is still able to use many scripts found at userscripts.org

I find it especially useful for Twitter, a Ning network that I maintain, Facebook and Tumblr.

Wakoopa recommended it to me and now i use it for basecamp. It works great!

Amazing
