_why, everyone’s favorite off-the-wall Ruby enthusiast, has created a “Tiny Toolkit for Making Web-like Desktop Apps,” and it is called Shoes.
If you are keeping score, this is also the creator of hoodwinkd, author of the Poignant Guide to Ruby, writer of various blogs, and creator of Hackety-Hack, a programming platform aimed at “Starter Coders”. That is to say, in the Great Battle Of Contributing Cool Things to the Web, he is ahead of most of us. Many kudos in his direction.
