fluid app for RTM (mac)

Hello

first off, thanks for the great work on RTM. It offers me the kind of flexibility and efficiency a task management tool needs.
The support for other platforms (iphone, android) and offline access have made the choice for the tool quite simple.

I stumbled upon fluid app (for mac) which enables you to create a site specific browser for just about any site you wish to use. I have now created this for gmail and rtm. it works perfectly, both gmail and rtm now seems to be a "real" application on my mac, accessible both on and offline.
i used this icon to place rtm in my doc: real nice. http://tylersticka.com/2009/02/remember-the-milk-favicon-redesigned/

Gmail is more advanced then RTM with fluid app integration in that it standardly shows in the doc the number of unread mails that are in the inbox. I figured this could be a nice option for RTM as well, for example the number of unfinished tasks that are due today or have prio 1, or ...

keep up the good work and keep me posted.

Best regards,
Joris - antwerp, belgium.

I also created an "app" using Fluid and I appreciate it because it's easier to Command-Tab to switch to RTM than it is to first get into my browser and then locate the RTM tab. (I often have dozens of tabs open) In other words, if you use Fluid to make an RTM "app" it has it's own dock icon. (A very pixelated cow icon, but it is there)

HoWEVER. It is NOT true that making an "app" (not really an app, it's just a dedicated browser session) enables you to work offline! That claim did not sound right to me and I just tested to double-check. Fluid apps still pull all their page-loads via the Internet; they do not store data on your hard-drive html5-style.

Now an html5 version of RTM would be awesome!!
