Beyond that, I always thought it would be cool to go to a home page (or a
bookmarked page) and have all kinda local functionality.

I guess you have to like browsers. I think they suck, UI-wise.
Give me a real Mac interface with real Mac behaviors. :)

I'm not saying that you shouldn't work on this type of project but I don't personally see the advantages of doing this type of program through a web browser.

I don't think that Peter is offering a new browser based UI so much as he is offering a way to incorporate AppleScript into existing browser based interfaces. This would, for example, allow users to set up a HTML help system which could launch scripts and/or collect information from forms and then process it with a script. If someone works only with HTML, they wouldn't be forced to learn how to use Studio or FaceSpan just to add basic AppleScript integration to their browser based system.
