You may or may not remember Ajax-life, a web-based client for SL. One that, frankly, I tried once, didn't get to work, and stopped thinking about. Well Movable Life is another option in the same list, and one that is still in alpha.This one works, after a fashion. Given it's designed as an ultra-slim client, I'd aim for having the chat bar much more accessible - it's currently at the bottom, with the map dominating the top of the screen, but I think I'd be chatting and iMing a lot more than moving by map positions. I can't get into the inventory, although it's shown, and if you log in and people see you, it's a little odd - see picture Linden hair and prim attachments show. Trying to IM people brings up a floating window, but it does all seem to work - again something I'd have thought might be higher priority. The client space is also huge! I'm on a pretty large monitor and can get the width, but can't get the whole height of the client in the window at once.
I guess, if you're desperate to get in and meet someone, and you don't object to entering your log in details and trusting someone else (or using an alt (like the one pictured) especially for Movable Life?) then it's usable, although clearly still in alpha: to do the research for this I logged in several times, because I kept crashing.
(Thanks to various people from the SLED list who commented on this)
1. I'll stay with AjaxLife. MovableLife is made by company and I don't care about it being still in alpha or beta. AL is made by one resident only. Second, its code is open from the start. Third, it is far more functional.
