I’m a longtime fan of Fluid, a Mac app that lets you easily set up site-specific browsers for your favorite webapp. In fact, I like it so much that I posted 10 web apps that work amazingly well as Fluid SSBs. Fluid may have just become even cooler, though, because developer Todd Ditchendorf has released all of the code for Fluid and announced that it’s going entirely open source.

If you’re a developer, you can grab the code on GitHub and have at it.

I’m excited to see what comes out of this, especially in terms of Finder integration to make Fluid browsers behave even more like desktop apps. Our newest member of the DLS team, Matthew Rogers, pointed out that Fluid is a straightforward enough app that open source might not make a difference.

What do you think, readers? Is there anything you’d like to see added to Fluid?
