I noticed that a reference to parakey ~ http://www.parakey.com popped up today ( http://www.parakey.com/jobs/summer.html ) and looking at the intern requirements and development model ...

'... Parakey is both a platform and a set of applications. The platform, written in Python, C++ and JavaScript, offers a means of building applications that merge the best of the desktop and the Web. Like desktop apps, these apps work offline, offer more privacy than pure websites ...'

Firebug is an open source development tool and is probably the basis of their browser client (controls + data store) with a server component doing the business logic (assumption).

I'm wary of any browser based solutions. It's either give away the UI as plugins or re-building Mozilla (think flock). is this a reasonable approach to solving the we don't trust you with our data problem yet still using a web based API?
