Pokki Brings the App Experience to the Desktop
New Application Platform Lets Developers Create and Distribute Beautiful, Always-on Desktop Apps Using HTML5
SAN DIEGO, June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SweetLabs, Inc. today announced the beta launch of Pokki, a new platform that lets web developers easily create and distribute connected desktop apps using standard web languages like HTML5, CSS and Javascript. Developers can access the Pokki SDK and download showcased Pokkies today at http://www.pokki.com, for popular services like eBay, Facebook, Gmail, LivingSocial, Twitter, and The Wall Street Journal.
The Pokki platform modernizes the desktop by giving users the same rich, always-on application experience that they've come to expect from mobile and tablet devices. Pokki offers real-time notifications allowing users to stay connected beyond the confines of the browser. Pokki also comes with a built-in store so users can easily discover new apps and instantly install them on their desktops with one click.
For web developers, Pokki makes it easier than ever to create desktop apps using the latest and most powerful web technologies, combining the speed of the web with the immediacy and convenience of the desktop. With a built-in distribution channel through the Pokki store, developers can better reach and engage their users, thanks to prominent placement on the desktop and constant connectivity.
"The desktop is the largest, yet ironically, the most ignored technology ecosystem on the planet, and our goal is to give developers and users something they don't have today; a standards-based platform to create and enjoy beautiful, connected applications on the desktop," said Darrius Thompson, co-founder and CEO of SweetLabs, the company behind Pokki. "Pokki combines the connectivity of the web experience with the elegance and simplicity of the app experience users love. We look forward to seeing what developers create for the platform."
The Pokki Developer SDK and the initial Pokkies can be downloaded today at http://www.pokki.com. For more information about SweetLabs, visit http://www.sweetlabs.com.
