I miss the Back Room. We should bring it forward.

I agree.
Never went to the soapbox much.
Found it a bit disappointing mostly.

Is graphic violence how web designers attack each other?

That makes me wish that this 'post PC era' I heard so much of would finally come.

Even if they get into a TIFF, I wouldn't have JPEG'd them as being the violent sort.

Because I started running Ubuntu as my main desktop I needed my password creation app (C'YaPass - the WinForms version) on my Ubuntu desktop but wasn't sure of the best (or good) way to create a desktop app for Linux.
I DuckDuckGo'd it and found Electron -- Electron is basically Node & Chrome engine that runs natively from your desktop.
Visual Studio Code is an Electron app.
Anyways, I had already created a very basic HTML5, JavaScript, Bootstrap version of my desktop app (C'YaPass : Never type a password again[^]) and that made the conversion to Electron very fast.
Consistent on Windows, Linux, Mac
The really cool thing is that when you run the app on Linux, Windows or Mac it looks exactly the same.
Here's a snapshot :

Bootstrap
It is interesting because Bootstrap helps create basic controls like we Windows Devs are accustomed to having.
Installation Packages
I just need to learn how to create an installation package for each platform now.
It's really a simple idea (wrapping up browser so users think it is a desktop app) but it works really well.
Completely Open Source
FYI - You can get the source code at : GitHub - raddevus/CYaPass-Electron: The official C'YaPass desktop app built on Electron (runs on Windows, Linux, Mac)[^]
Easy To Try Out
You have to have Node (and NPM) installed.
But if you do you just:
1. git clone https://github.com/raddevus/CYaPass-Electron
2. npm install
3. npm start

Nice post. I'm assuming you can use TypeScript with Electron apps?

Marc Clifton wrote: I'm assuming you can use TypeScript with Electron apps?
Yes, you actually can use TypeScript now too. The npm package that you pull to create an Electron app now includes it.
The amazing thing is that you can build your app based upon Angular or other front-end technologies and then run it as a desktop app. I am amazed at how well it works. It really opens up a lot of opportunities. I am still flabbergasted by that first time I ran npm start on my app on Ubuntu and my app appeared. It's really cool!

That's an interesting list. It included Electron. 
Also, the Java one was funny because the note for the reasons against using was "it's not really cross platform".
|
|
|
|

Even funnier that that comment got five upvotes 
And although I'm not a web developer, I can understand that if you are one, you want to stick to web technologies and use Electron for cross platform development ...

Thanks for the apology. But, it's ok.
I've been on the Internet / Web for a long time so negative comments don't bother me.
If you notice there is an equal amount of hate and love for every idea that is on the Web so opinions are really very meaningless.
If you like it, use it. If not, no worries.
Blithely, I roll on.

I'm a CodeWraith, not a Sith Lord. Just tell me why anybody would use something like JavaScript and the whole baggage that's tied to its tail for desktop applications? Is it because every problem looks like a nail to someone with a hammer? Masochism? Would it be too little of a challenge if you used something else?
