I am thinking of using node-webkit to package cheeaun's hackerwebapp[1] into the system tray for Windows. Similar to [2] for Mac.

[2]: http://www.guidefreitas.com/hacker-news-menu-tab-app

EDIT: Popping up an entire webview from Tray doesn't seem to be easy. But creating a menu is very easy. I might do a simple clone of hackertray to Windows :)

That sounds cool! I agree that popping up an entire webview and that too on windows would be difficult. Waiting for hackertray for windows!

I would like that too.

That would be cool :)
