I've seen the future of the web. It's in the background
Hey everyone, I've been playing with the dev channel of Chrome and discovered something huge: background pages for web apps!  This means your web app can now run even when the browser is closed, or even after system start-up. It's crazy powerful.  You enable this by adding the "background" permission to your app manifest and then using a simple window.open() call with a special third parameter.  The background page's state can be toggled with window.close().  Communication between the background page and your app is done using SharedWorkers. Oh, and Appmator now supports this too!
