Devoracles.com is now Gears enabled!

by Gary Illyes


Great day today! Well, for me it’s sure it is: I finally finished incorporating Gears in Devoracles’s back-end software.

It’s not so interesting for you, the end-user. Probably if there wouldn’t be a pop-up window asking for your permission to store files locally, you wouldn’t even know Devoracles.com is Gears enabled.

For me it’s very interesting because I finally managed to fully understand how to implement the localServer function of Gears 0.4. Currently I only try to minimize the load times by caching a huge amount of Javascript and images on the end-user’s side. Of course, this will be noticeable only for the returning visitors with Gears installed.
Then later, when I fully understand the whole stuff, I will try to use other functions too. I’m quite interested at the moment in the Gears’s GeoLocation functions… even though it’s beta, it could be very interesting.

Let me know if you notice some bug or mistake I made. Cheers
To learn more about Google’s Gears, we published recently an article about it which should enlighten you a bit, or if you a developer you can learn more at http://gears.google.com or http://gearsblog.blogspot.com/
