Based on the results of yesterday's poll, the WebApp defaults to ~/Desktop/annex when run in the home directory. If there's no Desktop directory, it uses just ~/annex. And if run from some other place than the home directory, it assumes you want to use cwd. Of course, you can change this default, but I think it's a good one for most use cases.

My work today has all been on making one second of the total lifetime of the WebApp work. It's the very tricky second in between clicking on "Make repository" and being redirected to a WebApp running in your new repository. The trickiness involves threads, and MVars, and multiple web servers, and I don't want to go into details here. I'd rather forget.

Anyway, it works; you can run "git annex webapp" and be walked right through to having a usable repository! Now I need to see about adding that to the desktop menus, and making "git annex webapp", when run a second time, remembering where your repository is. I'll use ~/.config/git-annex/repository for storing that.
