AppKit

Desktop application framework based on Webkit, HTML5, CSS3, Javascript and Python

Now AppKit is on it's very early state. It's developed on fedora 17 & Gnome Desktop, However, It could be compatible with Ubuntu 12.04 and so on.

"AppKit" will be a framework for desktop application powered by WebKit engine, which means we can bring web technology such as HTML5, CSS3, Javascript and Web browser engine to desktop.

The main goal for now is to focus on library API which is inspired by Flask :). Application based on AppKit should be easy to write & combined with other libraries ( Bootstrap, AngularJS, Jinja2 or whatever that you can think of :P )
