Okay, I know you can already use the Google Chrome Refynr app as a near-native desktop app.

So, why put it in Adobe AIR?

  1. Cuz it can be an application within your PC or Mac, which makes it easier to navigate to and use.
  2. You can add features on top of it - in this case: auto-refresh
  3. Steve Good (http://stevegood.org/) offered to build the AIR version for free. Awesome! Thanks Steve "significantly better than" Good!!

What does it look like on my Mac?

Anyone else interested in this? We have a few small bugs to work out, and then the first Beta of Refynr Desktop may be available to test soon!
