1) Yes and no. I agree on the part with it being a front-end tool. But there is more to it than it just being a remote for XBMC. You can add / remove downloads, TV shows, and soon movies. Hence the name Manager. But to be honest the name is something we quickly came up with, so if you have any suggestions: Just let us know

Not sure, guess it depends on if you are working for it to be a one-stop-shop for management and control? Maybe something like HTPC Control Dashboard

2) Maraschino is only a dashboard. Also it did not suit our needs.

Just curious...What is it missing? I have not implemented it yet but if you will be doing things it will not I'll start working with yours.

3) No.

Please Even a basic interface would greatly enhance the usability for people trying to integrate to make a seamless system with your app as the front-end. Ages ago I was a horrible coder (thus why I'm no longer a coder) but if I did it I'm assuming a good coder could whip it up in no time.

It is a pretty basic idea... based on the URL that is passed to the web page, the HTML is created on the fly to display data passed to it as status (text and image), a button (toggle or multi-way), or both. The URL defined all parameters the web page was to display. This provides, real-time, page updates for control of the Home Theater & Home Automation systems... plus has many other applications.
