    App Inception in webOS

    If you've used the Developer's Cut of my App Glimpse, you've noticed you can embed other apps to run as widgets.
    A few webOS devs have asked me how I do this. Well, it's very easy. I'm using the undocumented enyo kind: "CrossAppUI".
    I've pasted a snippet of my code from Glimpse here:
    http://pastebin.com/nq4y60Wx

    Now, here's the catch:
    1) This will only work if the base App, is a "com.palm.something" app (which is why I have a secret Developer's Cut of Glimpse, which is not available in the App Catalog, because you can't submit a "com.palm" app). 
    2) Apps with "nowindow": true in their appinfo.json cannot be embedded. Don't ask me why...I didn't make the rules.

    So there you go

    P.S. If you don't know what I mean by "Developer's Cut of Glimpse", or how to get it, you really need to start following me on twitter (or fully exploring my apps)
