While looking at an Apollo session at Adobe Live in Amsterdam by Mike Downey, I heard him talk about the html rendering capabilities of the html component inside the Apollo Framework. He stated that the html rendering engine is based on Webkit 2, the same rendering engine as for the new safari so it seems.

I started thinking…. new html engine…apollo…. would it succeed in the Acid 2 test?

Well, first of all it was soooo easy to build your own ‘html browser’ with Apollo. All it takes is an input box, an html component and a couple of lines of code and of you go. had great fun building my first Apollo desktop application. Never knew building for desktop could be as much fun as it was for the web, but now it’s possible :).

P.S. It didn’t pass the test though….. but heck.. it’s still in Beta isn’t it.

P.S.S. The source is available for the ones interested.
