Mozilla has unveiled its first developer release of their new Web App Store which is poised to complete with Google’s Chromes Web App Store when launched. Applications for the new Mozilla Web App Store can be built using HTML5 and Javascript and Mozilla has been kind enough to get developers started in the development process with the release of various application programmable interfaces.
The Web App Store is still currently under development but the release now means that the OWA Application Manifest spec is now stable and ready for developers to start creating applications on it. Check out the brief video after the jump for more details.
When launched the Open Web Apps will be compatible with every platform including Google Chrome via the use of a small plug-in. The Open Web App specification also allows developers to either run their own store, or to just distribute Web apps on their own, without the need for any store at all.
