WWDC '08: Gravity Applications
We gave Niclas and Martin from Gravity Applications a chance to talk about their latest (finished) project: Searchlight. It's an exciting application that provides a web interface to your system-wide Spotlight database, allowing any web browser on any platform (including your iPhone) to search, preview and download files from your computer. The chat was fun, but it got even more interesting after the camera stopped rolling and Niclas showed me their next project. I can't reveal it yet, but I can tell you that I've been excited about it ever since and -- because that's a terrible teaser -- I'll tell you that it's quite likely to be a huge step forward in solving some of my most perplexing organization conundrums. I promise to cover it thoroughly when it's released. In the meantime, here's the Gravity team elaborating on Searchlight and their first time at WWDC. Video after the jump.

This is really nice. I really like the results list UI looking more like the Tiger one than the Leopard one (Why did Apple do that?)
I wish they also did a proper Mac application/front end to to Spotlight looking like this & with more options than Spotlight (searching multiple locations, excluding locations etc.)
I'd buy this in an instant if if wasn't so pricey.

It just hangs at startup for me, can't get it to open.
