Pyro: Desktop Campfire client for OS X

37signals' web-based business chat app Campfire has taken off pretty quickly, to the point that some folks are creating dedicated apps to work with it, like Pyro. Pyro is an app for Mac OS X whose creators describe as a "site-specific browser," meaning it's a desktop program that wraps around the web-based app and provides additional OS integration. Specifically, Pyro gives Campfire its own OS X Dock icon which displays the number of unread messages in your Campfire chat and bounces when new messages arrive. It also has a tabbed interface so you can remain connected to many Campfire chat rooms and switch between them easily.
