Heh, your "crazy web idea" is called WebObjects, and has been around for
a long time now. The idea behind WebObjects (well, up until 4.5,
anyway) is to use the same Foundation classes as a Cocoa app for the
model and controller, but the view is a web browser, instead of a
WindowServer.
Hence, your View objects are all HTML-generating objects, like WOString
(simple string), WOBrowser (the html <SELECT> form element),
WORepetition (for looping output for lists in table rows, etc),
WOConditional (HTML only displayed if (!foo)).
It was really cool, and I loved it. Too bad it's all Java now. Now, I
use PHP, and it is much faster to get an app built.

I don't know if anyone has thought of this before,
but imagine this:
a fully AppKit-compliant web front end(maybe via an apache plugin). so all
the cocoa apps that we wrote can run directly in a web browser with no
modification. this will sure beat .NET by any day. any thoughts?
apple are you listening?
