Something youve all been waiting for: remove the gap between desktop and Internet applications. A new technology: enable developers to deliver their Internet apps to Windows desktops, so they look and feel exactly like native Windows applications. Give applications full access to the local file system and system tray, and enable data caching, so applications process data without a connection to the Internet. DeskRun.
That little note we made about Windows look-and-feel? Developers can customize their apps to suit their needs: control the title bar, icon and window transparency.

Web applications are packaged inside a single executable file, so when users download a file from the Javeline website, it installs automatically on their computers. A user doesn't have to do a thing other than run the app.
DeskRun includes a robust set of APIs, plus tight integration with the desktop; developers build applications that take advantage of the fact that they run locally.
Background
For over a generation, developers have wanted to eliminate the gap between browser and desktop. DeskRun takes the strengths and advantages from the browser (i.e. rendering, scripting, online source, etc) and the desktop (transparent windows, file system access) and makes it possible to create applications that run both on- and offline.
Developer interest is huge. Everyone wants to create an online/offline application with the best of both worlds: bring their web applications offline and take advantage of things a desktop application can do including accessing the file system and drag and drop from the desktop to the application.
DeskRun technology business implementations:
- Banking. Offer customer account access in offline mode. Information available at their total convenience.
- Online helpdesk/callcenters: Agents get notifications of new calls or emails in their tray. Connection the web application with external devices is a breeze, thus allowing information push from telephone servers.
- Email. Companies that support browser-based email clients, who store mail on a server, can provide capabilities for users to read mail offline.
- Sales: Offer on-site sales agents offline operation of web-based CRM applications
- Community sites: Bind users to the community site by offering notifications in the tray of new chats, new internal emails or forum messages.

What is DeskRun technically?
DeskRun is a 200KB compressed executable that can be joined with a packaged web application zipfile (html/js/flash) into a single executable. DeskRun has an internal protocol jav:// mapping the files inside the zip package to usable URLs.
With Internet Explorer as its internal engine, DeskRun exposes its APIs via JavaScript. These APIs include window appearance, system tray icons and balloons, local file system access with monitoring (onchange), loading binary plugins, javascript worker thread, profiling, mailing with local applications, starting and managing external applications, shell redirection and others.
