How to set up Hosted Web Apps with Windows Live Tiles

For those of  you who have been keeping up with this blog, the Javascript container process is something I’ve been following closely for the past decade. Earlier in the year, Peter Kruger from Microsoft reached out asking if I could test their latest implementation, which we presented at //Build. It was an honor, and since then I’ve been advocating Microsoft and OpenFin’s implementation as my favorites. In a nutshell: The Javascript container process let’s you take a JS website and make it…

Apps Have Recreated the Problem the Web Was Trying to Fix (Part 1)

It’s no question the word “App” has become ubiquitous and for good reason. For users it’s allowed us to install entire applications within a click. Just 10 years ago, we had to run into a store like Best Buy, look for an oversized software box, and load the game or software over 4 CDs. For developers, it’s meant we can take our product and unleash into a massive pipeline where people are already on their phone constantly. The problem is we’ve…
