Love these types of simple and easy tutorials: Convert a URL to a Desktop App!
Pretty simple, just follow these instructions:

Think this is a great idea for church websites, your blog, the list goes on! Hope you find this helpful and if not just plain cool!!

This is something that can already be done with a baked in Google Chrome feature. While on a website you want to make a desktop app go to the page icon in the top right of chrome and then click on the “create application shortcut”. Voila!
Brian Alexander says
I didn’t realize that. AWESOME!

On chrome 5.0.307.9 beta for osx:
The option is under ‘File’, however, it is not enabled.

Thanks for pointing that out. I (unfortunately) don’t have a mac so didn’t realize it wasn’t available on Chrome for macs.
Matches Malone says
It would seem that Chrome for Mac doesn’t have that widget…. Is there a menu option?
mike says
Cool. I’m assuming that you can share these apps with friends & co-workers too right?
Jim Gray says
that’s hawt…already scheming…
Kyle Reed says

Is this feature available for PC as well? I knew about Fluid App’s, which since I have a mac are all I really need.
Scott Magdalein says
Prism! Heck yeah. Going old school!
Also, for Mac, check out Fluid App. Lots of custom options and the developer is still really responsive and active. (He’s @itod on Twitter.)

Cranked up the volume full on both the video, and my computer itself, and it’s really hard to make out the audio. Probably just me, however, would it be possible to do a step by step written tutorial? Thanks!!!
Gabe Hoffman says
So for some reason the Prism link is down, and your link is right cause I googled it and found the same URL. Anyway, there is a firefox addon that will make this just a one click deal, in case that sounded too hard for anyone. Thanks for the video though.

Awesome! I created an app for all my Googleness! 🙂 And of course ChurchCrunch 🙂

Too bad so many people hock their stuff so cheaply. It’s really kind of ruining our hobby.
