Re: Why apps? But anywho.

Because for a certain task, a specialized interface is preferable. We discussed this a lot and came to the conclusion that it is much more userfriendly to have different interfaces for different main tasks. Especially the example of Gobe Productive argued in favour of our decision.

About sharing styles between different flakes -- that's something to consider. I don't know whether OpenDocument supports it, and if it doesn't, it will be hard to do, and getting inline data in a flake from another component will be a nice challenge, but as long as we're talking objects embedded in a text flake, doable. As long as OpenDocument supports it, of course.
