You may already know that folding@home team has developed a Chrome app allowing to fold directly with Google Chrome by going to

http://folding.stanford.edu/nacl/

Is it possible to built a similar Chrome app for BOINC projects?

If yes, is there any project going on either by BOINC developers or as an independent project?

No details on the Chrome app, but there is a Facebook app that supported Rosetta@home, Africa@home, and ClimatePrediction.net. Been a while since I looked at it. It was called Progress through processors.

The Progress Through Processors Facebbok "app" doesn't actually do any computing, it's just a link with GridRepublic, one of the account managers.
