I see Remember the Milk does this with Google Gears. It “just works” on my computer (Chrome + WinXP). But I can’t remember if I had to install Gears separately at some point. I don’t want to bother my users with having to download something… And does gears just work across platforms? eg. Mac with Safari
If not is there another way to do this? I guess I could just tell them to drag the url wherever they want — but then I don’t get my favicon… right?
Would appreciate any insight here.
You can make a small downloadable application that is simply an icon, and when clicked loads your specific url in the clients default browser.
