JX,

We're doing something similar, with client-server apps and various interfaces. Having discussed the pros and cons, we've settled on calling them all thin-client apps. It's not precise, but it gets the message across and once it is picked up it causes no great confusion.

Executive summary: I want a nice positive phrase that non-Web application
developers will quickly identify as referring to THEM without invoking the phrase "Web application" in the phrase itself nor negating a concept. Do you have suggestions? See below for details....


My client's software product is a developer tool (libraries) for a wide
variety of development environments. Yet, in practice most developers use it for Web application development.

I need to frequently make a distinction between Web applications and other applications. In this context of this product, "Web application" means an application that relies on HTML, HTML image tags, and end-user Web browsers to display its content.

Can anyone think of better choices??? Please feel free to suggest multiple ideas to help brainstorm!

Thanks,
