WakeOnLan
Nov 9 2009

MODEST GINGER  Fantastic little app. “Do one thing and do it well.” It does absolutely everything a complete WakeOnLAN app should do — and not one thing more. Perfect.

It would be great if you could add support for the Bonjour Sleep Proxy Service. It’s the technology that Snow Leopard’s “Wake on Wireless” uses. It’s an open protocol and shouldn’t be too hard to implement:

Service description:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_Proxy_Service

Source code:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/mDNSResponder/mDNSResponder-212.1/mDNSMacOSX/

Exact protocol (really simple stuff):

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cheshire-edns0-owner-option-00

In practice, supporting this would also allow for waking over VPN and waking over Internet (if the router forwards broadcast packets from WAN to LAN).

**...

MODEST GINGER  Stainless is going great; it has potential. I appreciate the rapid updates!

It's obviously missing a lot, but I won't burden you with the obvious requests.

There is one UI issue that is an ABSOLUTE DEAL-BREAKER though: the WINDOW FLICKER (temporarily switches from being the frontmost window when changing tabs).

I'm sure that this bug is related to the separation of tabs into processes, but it needs to be solved before Stainless can ever be a serious browser -- or a serious demo. Right now, all this shows me is that this implementation won't be the answer.

Brutal honesty.
