MacOS Context application created

I’ve created the first of the platform-specific launching mechanisms for the Context 3 release on 20 March, a MacOS application. On each platform, launching an application starts the minimal subject and history memories, and opens a website served by the subject memory using your default web browser. You can then control the subject memory from that website (load modules, quit, etc.).
For MacOS, I wrote an Automator workflow which opens the memories with Finder commands from an AppleScript, and opens the website after that. I saved the workflow as an application, and put the processor (AKA “virtual machine”) and memories in its Resources. This was my first serious application of Automator or AppleScript; I’m impressed!
I’m also writing applications for Ubuntu Linux and Microsoft Windows. I’d appreciate any suggestions about mechanisms to use on those platforms. I’d also love contributions of prettier iconography. :)
