Hi everyone,
as probably most people I find the GUI part of any application to be the hardest part.
It just occurred to me that I *could* write my wxHaskell desktop application as a web app too.
When the app starts, a haskell web server start listening on localhost port 8080 for example and I fire up a browser to page localhost:8080 without the user actually knowing too much about it.
Is that a totally stupid idea? Which haskell web servers would make good candidates?
No; Happstack. See Gitit for an example - it is a wiki, but people use it locally all the time, such as myself or Don Stewart. -- gwern
