Why isn't it a web page? Wouldn't that be simpler and more accessible for... everyone?

Great question! It probably would. It also would be much more costly for me, as I'd have to pay for all the traffic. And the costs will only increase as the popularity of Parallel increases. Without a really solid ad-driven model or a subscription fee, it wouldn't be sustainable. An application, on the other hand, puts all the price of data in the hands of the end user. And for most consumers that's free. I'm not saying it won't ever be a webpage (I think making one would be really sweet) -- I just don't see it being sustainable until this project garners a lot more subscribers / supporters.

Also, writing a web page is about 10x harder than writing an application. Browsers are really fickle and what works on one seldom works on another. At least with a UI framework, what you see is what you get, for the most part.
