Is Google Gears Really a Long-term Solution?


I am thinking about using Gears in a project, but I have doubts about it.

Do you think that Gears will really be (or already were) accepted by the community as the state-of-art solution for what it purposes?

Although Gears seems to be awesome, I think that the community is kind of scared to use it.

What do you think about it?


Solution

  • Google Gears is not a long-term solution. On February 19, 2010, Google announced that Gears is being discontinued, and that they believe the correct solution is through standards-complaint options such as HTML5.
