- mcherm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17I'm not sure that's true. A single highly popular app based on XUL could change everything. Remember the old days when you had to download and install software in order to use it? With XUL apps you have to download and install just one app (Firefox) and then they all work. So the adoption will be similar what you get with plug-ins. Essentially, your potential audience is a LOT smaller (1/10th? 1/20th?), but if the content and features are good enough, then you WILL get users. Just one XUL application that reached the popularity of Flickr, or anything at all released by Google would be enough.
- Dracos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6IE will never natively support XUL. IE7 on Vista will support XAML, which is Microsoft's reimplementation of XUL (just like Java -> J++, Javascript -> JScript, etc). Nothing else will support XAML, so this is just another case of MS forcing everyone into vendor lock in.
When Gecko is fully converted to use Cairo graphics (1.9 or 2.0), then we'll see some really slick stuff, as UI speed should increase dramatically. I personally would like to see an entire X desktop (Gnome) written in XUL. - csprech, on 10/17/2007, -1/+6hah when you click on "My Blog" in the sites navbar, a new button in the navbar pops up as "My Porn"....what a savage hahaha
- 83457, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Firefox is cross-platform and XUL isn't HTML. If you had compared XUL to some IE only plugins that would make more sense.
- inactive, on 10/17/2007, -1/+5Wow, that's some amazing stuff. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but it throws you off considering that they're just webpages except the UI appears to seemlessly blend into the browser.
- generallee5686, on 10/17/2007, -8/+12My first comment after digging for a year, and its HOLY *****!
- mcherm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yes, well the reason it seemlessly blends into the browser is because for Mozilla browsers, the browser is essentially written in XUL.
- aftk2, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3Heh, this is cool, but the chat app is not necessarily the most secure ;-)
http://www.georgenava.com/xul/chat/msg/
Or maybe it is - I don't know, maybe there's some utility to having the logs publicly accessible (in some format)
still, I gives these efforts thumbs up. - milphy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I am on a mac running Camino and all of the XUL apps on that page work fine for me.
- fr0z3nph03n1x, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3These only work on XXX browser build XXX on tuesday though friday and never in the month of May.
- stokestack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3My name is Alex Rogan. My job is to defend the frontier against XUL and the Ko-Dan armada.
- Beanlover, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3dugg all to heck :( Bookmarked to check out later.
Looks cool and I DEFINITELY have an interest in xul apps for commercial purposes. - Lobster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When I first came across XUL I immediately started to program in what is little more than an XML / HTML level requirement. However I felt like a bit of a pioneer and hope XUL will be simplified to my level of ineptitude. For some reason simplicity is despised as not real programming. Why? The Ajax hijax will eventually be over as people realise that they are paying with ads and subscription charges for what they used to do on their own machines . . . some services seem a disservice. Digg leads the way in working Ajax. XUL rather than running on a server runs the script on the clients machine, allowing much of the best ideas and code to be available.
XUL is open source and that is the future. XUL is KUL - Larke2000, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6i didn't see any condoms in there...
- ascheinberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"XUL isn't really something that's supposed to be used on a public website. It's for the Firefox user interface (and for extensions)."
That's not really true. Songbird, the new "open iTunes," is based on XULRunner, which is an XUL runtime. While no one has actually written a convincing internet-presence in XUL, that doesn't mean it can't be done. It'd say it's only a matter of time and creativity. - energeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Guys you're forgetting that these apps are made for fun and not for normal use. The chat doesn't have to be secure, you aren't supposed to use it for chatting. Its for experimenting.
IE supporting XUL will be like them replacing the UI with KDE or something. IE supporting XUL would be bad. Let them support a camel, I mean XAML - ascheinberg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can anyone verify these running on Camino. I'm on Windows now, but Camino doesn't support XUL as far as I know, that is why extensions don't work. This is not about the Gecko engine (which powers Camino), but rather Mozilla itself (which ... er.... doesn't).
- Beanlover, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There is no Dana....there.is.only.XUL
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The internet is reaching a new level this year. This is going to be fun.
- GuineaPig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That clone of iTunes is awesome. With a Javascript search embedded in it, it'd be a believable facsimile.
- Lostangel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd still like to see XUL get some UI widget support that's as "pretty" as XAML. That way we can get an actual comparison going on. Right now these apps are quite old and I haven't seen any new development from the XUL camp, of which I'd very much like to see. (Although, yes, it is just as impressive as before, just not as pretty as I'd like it to be by now)
- eli_lilly, on 10/17/2007, -0/+1George's online blog reader bloxor (www.bloxor.com) kicks total azz.
- ahawks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So why are these being used as little demos, and not being turned into awesome firefox extensions??
- rivviepop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1davidv - "works in gecko" = statement of truth. "only works in gecko but" = negative connotation surrounding a statement of truth.
- stokestack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No.
- EsotericBoredom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was very cool...but I'm wondering about possible malicious uses to trick the not so savvy people other there that will one day switch to a non IE browser. Some of those apps looked seamless enough to fool a person not familiar with PCs. Then again maybe I'm just being paranoid.
- rivviepop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"...only work in gecko browsers (mozilla/firefox/camino) but..." - you make it sound like not using IE is a bad thing and some sort of abhorrent behaviour. Savvy users don't use IE anymore, the only folks I know who do are "because it came with Windows", not based on technical merit.
- haigMeister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1aaaaaaamazing.
- koguma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've always wondered about the Ghostbusters theme running through Mozilla... XUL, Vankman js debugger...
- centinall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1but there's no reason why you can't or shouldn't, right?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"What about KHTML and opera? Have they stopped existing?" (noamsml)
Maybe KHTML and Opera should support XUL too ;o) - ahmedcol, on 02/20/2009, -0/+0

Tutorials are meant to things, not just tell you what to do! It should explain the 'boring bit' and say what it's for appears to seemlessly blend into the browser.
