Hyperwords does most of what it's capable of so far, but it looks like it will develop into something more.

I can think of little use for it though, maybe I just don't get it.

The full list of commands, plus the ability to create and subscribe to new ones, is pretty impressive. It does all of what hyperwords does in addition to many other things I've never seen before including converting pages to an editable format in the browser, allowing you to make changes to a page and even save the changes you've made, using Yelp to find restaurants in an area, and even google maps, all while staying in a smallish window in the corner of the browser. And this is just version 0.1.2.
