[iRail] iRail Chrome Packaged WebApp

Sat May 25 22:10:46 UTC 2013

Hi Wouter!

Damn, your app is beautiful! Nice work. It works as expected :). I "advise"
(since we've started wrapping all my advice between double quotes) everyone
to have a look!

Are you going to publish it in the chrome web app store?

Kind regards,

Pieter
