SublimeVideo: If the Future of HTML5 Is Like This, It’s Going to Be Delicious

Technology moves forward everyday, but good ideas stay. That’s what I think everyday when I review a good application, and when I see the effort a developer puts in creating something good for the users. Now, what could ever happen if a good idea meets the technology of the future and even brings some eye candy to it?

SublimeVideo is the greatest example of what I’m talking about. It’s a video player, based on HTML5 that shows an amazing attention to the user interface design and even brings a lot of innovations. Developed by Jilion, SublimeVideo it’s currently a demo, but it already allows you to watch the video in full window mode: Vimeo and Youtube don’t let you do that, and their HTML5 video players are slow and buggy. Also, the Jilion guys promise to implement the full screen mode with the next releases (by alt-clicking the video, only available in the WebKit Nightlies now).

But Sublime doesn’t stop at full screen goodness: it’s got sleek in / out transitions, gorgeous controllers (even more beautiful than QuickTime’s ones), live resizing and a draggable. It’s basically a sexier QuickTime that uses HTML5.

Be sure to check it out, and follow the updates from the Jilion guys. This is going to be awesome.
