Weekly Web Development links
A weekly run-down of some interesting things that I have found
I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.

Many Chrome Web Store users complain that some listed "apps" are just links. While technically true in some cases, the point of the Web Store is to help users discover web apps, new and old. Listing your existing web app is encouraged! It exposes your app to a wider audience. Some users expect a different experience when installing from the store, but for many, it's their first encounter with your app. The key is to get users to your app's core functionality quickly. Prioritize a direct login or, even better, use OpenID for seamless account creation. Don't make users land on a generic product page; they've already chosen to use your app. Speedy access is key. Check out the Diary.com app for an example of a smooth OpenID sign-in process.
