I agree with you and have thought about that already. I wrote the

more powerful features than I could with a website and that's my goal.


If you are a Java programmer, look into Java jnlp
I (we) use it for a complex XML database I'm developing
at Montana State: http://neurosys.cns.montana.edu

Jnlp allows browsers to download and run a complex
application, using Java Swing widgets, etc........anything you want.

If you use a hierarchical database for the backend (any XML
database) you can do all sorts of automagic stuff that would
be completely impossible with a relational database
..........like using mouse clicks to bootstrap a database system
from the ground up.
