After looking at the video on Vimeo it reminds more of Dave Winer's OPML Editor (http://home.opml.org/)



Thanks for looking at the video. One thing I should mention is that I have spent a day or so on the UI since then so it looks a lot more modern at the moment.

Anyway, I don't see how my project is related to OPML Editor really.. then again its not really easy to see the details of what that does from the web site.

But anyway my thing is about GUI controls that include the front and back end code and plugins to install them. GUI controls/widgets are an old and obvious and proven concept. The separation between front and back end coding, CSS and some other things that have happened with web development were practical approaches for awhile, but now with the web as platform, they are obviously a bit of a regression. There is just a very strong tradition now, a whole generation of CSSers and RESTers that just can't think any other way and unfortunately sometimes don't even talk to each other.

Widgets and plugins are a no-brainer.

So basically what we have confirmed is that I have more useful software development knowledge than the entire web team at Adobe.
