"Loads an app from the specified directory and launches it" app-window-size=w,hĮxperimental native frame support for packaged apps. Specifies the initial size for application windows launched with -app. Specifies that the extension-app with the specified id should be launched according to its configuration. Specifies that the associated value should be launched in "application" mode. Love the energy of these mails! Hoping you guys find a sweet spotĪnd manage to get this boulder rolling. Here's a couple of early morning, before the coffee kicks in As things moveįorward into a proper release, a thought-through final name can be AppJS would then be its ancestor and theĭistinction between the two would be clear to all. Skunkworks type code name for this (new) project, to makeĭiscussing it easier. My first suggestion to you two would be to come up with a I've got strong graphics skills and seeing the currentĮnergy between Simon & Kevin, would be willing to pitch in a Only other option appears to be node-webkit (which I also followĪm also not a C++ guy, but enjoy building things in many other To build some simple developer tools for myself (simple web UI + Would mature to the point where I would have been able to use it I've been following AppJS for quite a while and was hoping that it Just wanted to pipe in with a good portion of encouragement! users in the same company) using this experimental technology so I believe it will be fully featured. Having said that I fully expect to be able to ship apps to internal users (I.e. Then appjs 2.0 will be a mixture of appjs that we have now and the cool things from this experiment. I am saying ok how far can we get with C++. But I think we can start basic and then try to hack solutions to the limitations and make the end desktop solution better and better.Īll of that could be done without any C++ and no build process - and I think it will mean more developers that are perhaps afraid of C++ hacking would then jump in and be prepared to contribute.ĭont misunderstand me though, I have nothing against C++ at all I am just aiming to make the core more accessible to a larger audience. Compaired to current appjs we loose the native menus and a couple of other things. Add api to allow communication both ways and you already hqve a very useful solution. So to start with we could just boot off the browser with parameters to remove the bookmarks bar etc and point it at the local "server side" app. But we want it presented as a desktop app. That lets you build applications and in one way or another provide an html interface for the user.Ģ) We can have our "own" browser, either chromium or cef or firefox or whatever. Instead I want to open it up and we can all have fun and build off each others ideas.ġ) we have something we know how to do well - php app for you, rails for someone else, nodejs for others. I dont want to come with a single way and lock out all other solutions. However there are hundreds of ways to build this thing. Any suggestions about how to make a nice pluggable system that can be used with many backends?Īt the moment the concept / design is real simple - it will obviously get more complex in the future. ![]() ![]() I built a cgi interface for appjs, and using websockets and an api is also available. So whatever we do lets make it work on those platforms. I always liked that appjs ran on mac / windows / linux as well. ![]() Great comment, I think this should be a goal of the project. We should make it easy to do with any framework. Appjs did that for nodejs and Ingwie managed to use it with php. You have got me thinking how do we build this so it is easy and natural to take a php / Rails / Djano / etc app and deploy to the desktop. I think calling it a "desktop shell" that you wrap around a server side application is a very good way of describing what I want to build. As you mentioned we want easy / natural communication to the server. That takes forever and the interface is not as good as what we can do on the web. Then for whatever reason we want to create a desktop application. I think there are lots of developers who can do so much so quickly on the web.
