One of the things you learn quickly about Brent Simmons is that there is no detail too small to not warrant an inordinate amount of attention to getting it just right. This attention to detail pays off, NNW consistently ranks as one of the most popular Mac applications.

Normally this is kind of a boring thing—not one of the exciting features, not necessarily worth discussing. But since this is an example of a hybrid app with an online component, I thought it might be interesting to other developers of hybrid apps.
