To web or not to web?

I’m thinking more about the possibilities of Beyond as a web app.

Advantages:

  • You can use it on any computer in the world, basically
  • Storage concerns no longer exist
  • Collaboration becomes much more feasible
  • It’s easier to make your data part of the web, if you want

Disadvantages:

  • You have to have your own web server[1]
  • The interface couldn’t be as rich
  • Your Internet connection has to be up to be able to work

[1] Unless someone started a website hosting accounts, which people could use like they use Flickr. But I don’t have the resources to do that.

Well, I don’t really know. Visual overlays for merging data would be harder to pull off in a web setting. As for requiring a web server, does phpGedView do that? Hmm, I need to look into that… The advantages of a web app are nice, especially if you don’t have your own computer (or your computer is broken :)).

Anyway, the main thing is to figure out whether the Right Thing is to stick with making a desktop app or to make a next-generation (pun intended) web app instead. Comments?
