I've written a full arcade version of Tetris, and the bookmarklet is 27kb. Just design your "app" as an HTML "page" powered by JavaScript, crunch it, encode the whole thing in base64, and load it as: javascript:/*Title_and_Credits*/aa=window.open('data:text/HTML;base64, YOURB64HERE','','width=420,height=420,left=0,top=0,scrollbars,resizable,menubar,status,location,toolbar,dependent=yes');void 1 Bypasses the whole nested-single-and-double-quotes PITA, too.
