The 80s is calling.
Steve wants to send computing back to the 80s and now we have another 80s style application rising from the grave like some sort of zombie.
Even if you do have a toy database platform, it still makes more sense to make the user facing frontend a web browser. That allows for a wide range of sophistication levels in your frontend app coding spanning the range from little more than shell scripts to serious secure enterprise computing. Code your interfaces right and you can even move freely between backend platforms.
One would have thought that all of the little PIM apps in the app store would make an application of this sort pretty redundant anyways.
