The Scratch 2.0 built in reader.
Scratch 2.0 could have a scratch web reader built into the Scratch application. The reader could temporarily download the app, and you could even instantly remix it. Plus, this would allow the applications to run faster. And, even better, they wouldn't even have to touch a web browser.
Another idea is you could view forums from the web reader. Just seems simpler.
In fact, why couldn't you make the web reader do everything the website does???
2.0 coming soon...

scratch 2 will be used in the web browser anyway (mainly) so it will function very much like this!

Re: The Scratch 2.0 built in reader.
Pretty much what I'm getting at is to let the application download info from the page to a reader so you DON'T have to go to scratch.mit.edu in a web browser.
Try looking at Mozilla Thunderbird. It's Mozilla Thunderbird BUT it doesn't load email, it loads Scratch.com and everything like it.
(Note : It downloads the search. Galleries and projects and a handful of other things would be downloaded when accessed.)
(Maybe it's just too complicated an idea 
)
2.0 coming soon...

Re: The Scratch 2.0 built in reader.
I'm sure that if someone wanted to, they would create such a thing, as it wouldn't be too hard.
That reminds me, try Scraps, something awesome Fullmoon wrote for Scratch Resources. It is the same idea, but it might give you a head start on how to do it.
But why would you want to have ANOTHER program? It is basically useless, unless it provides a more unified Scratch experience.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
