A Modern App for Modern Times
The interface for this app has been built with HTML, but this is nothing like the web apps you're accustomed to. This has been built purely with modern features that bring a level of performance that wasn't even possible a year ago at this time. For the nerds out there, that means WebAnimations, WebComponents, Service Workers, Polymer, and on and on.
As many of you know we are working hard to localize Media Browser so that it can be displayed in your native language.
Many have volunteered to help translate and we thank you for that. If you'd like to see Media Browser in your language, please drop us a line and we'll set you up to help translate.
While we wait for our new public channel to be approved, the private beta channel has been updated.
