By integrating the current gesture-enabled Appcast code with HTML5 sqlite, offline-cache, and apple hooks, Appcast now offers potential for richer UI and faster load time. The new code is hosted on Google Code Appengine, but it can be easily hosted on very lightweight hosting services like ripplehost. iPhone users click here for Richer, Faster Appcasts
1. Offline cache using cache-manifest allows modern browsers like safari to load the page from the home screen without fetching from the server. The old way was to store everything in the url. With offline cache, styles, code, data, and even images can be stored by the browser and made available offline.
2. Apple hook for icon allows the homescreen icon to be an image file on the server.
3. Sqlite database allows additional custom data to be stored locally on the iPhone. This will allow you to send a URL containing data that will be store in sqlite only by those who receive your email. The data is never stored on any server (other than secure mail servers) or app store and the recipient can have a truly unique custom appcast.
