Lately I’ve come to use a great little app called Fluid that does a very simple thing; it creates a browser that only works for a specific site (or SSB); be it Gmail, Facebook or any other site, Fluid can make a specific version for you.

I usually go one step further than the ‘vanilla’ SSB as I convert them to a MenuExtraSSB (in the File menu of your newly created SSB app) so that they appear in the menubar at the top of my screen. This means they’re always available without having to switch apps.

Why is this important?

I find it particularly useful for reference sites like Sitepoint’s CSS and HTML reference or the TextBook when I’m creating a Textpattern site.

Here’s my (not exhaustive) list of the best and most useful SSB’s and their URL’s

Web Development:

• http://reference.sitepoint.com/html – Sitepoint HTML Reference
• http://reference.sitepoint.com/css – Sitepoint CSS Reference
• http://textbook.textpattern.net/ – The Textpattern TextBook
• http://projectdeploy.org/ – Deploy (For rapid deployment of a small site)
• http://html-ipsum.com/ – HTML Ipsum
• http://thresholdstate.com/articles/4312/the-textile-reference-manual – Textile Reference

General

• http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ – BBC iPlayer (I usually listen to the radio)
• http://www.google.com/reader/ – Google Reader
• http://www.twitter.com – Twitter
• http://keyboardr.com/ – Keyboardr

As I said before, you could have Gmail and Facebook, but I do not.

I will keep updating this post when I find more

Please suggest any more for this list
