We’ve been reviewing a lot of web applications on MacStories during these last weeks, and not because we haven’t been able to find new “native” apps both for Mac and iPhone – because we believe today’s webapps have a lot to teach to desktop applications. Also, many of us use websites as desktop applications running inside an instance of Fluid.app: I have 3 Fluid apps sitting in my dock at the time of writing this post.
We usually focus on applications that could empower our productivity workflows with new tools, new ways of doing the old stuff, possibly standard compliant. Just take a look at Zootool, HipChat, Nirvana: they’re all great pieces of software that, no matter they’re written in Cocoa or not can run on our Macs just fine – and they’re useful.
The webapp Cody and I are going to talk about today is something you haven’t seen before anywhere else. It’s a sort of online storage / virtual desktop /collaboration app that presents a nice interface and runs very smoothly. An online place for you, your family and your co-workers that could seriously become one of your 2010 new favorite apps.

I’d love you Postbox, if only you dropped that engine.
Many people have problems with getting things done. Task managers can only do so much, because despite jotting down the dozen or so tasks that need to be taken care of for the weekend, it’s ultimately up to the end user to fulfill those promises. More often than not, GTD apps are not the cure all – because things like “cleaning the garage” or “putting clothes away” often have no incentive. Unless the reward is a wad of cash, many of us (especially as Americans) find it easier to procrastinate than keep up on our daily duties.
For those with the task manager blues, you might have already heard about this little dandy of an application called Dunnit!.

Guess we were right. Still no confirmation about Steam for Mac though, but at this point I’d say we should only wait a couple of weeks or less.
