Like many "desktop" current apps it opens another browser that only loads one page: the "desktop" app.
It uses electron (http://electron.atom.io/ http://electron.atom.io/) which uses nodejs+chromium.
- spiderfarmer 10y agoI am happy to see a more webapps break out of the browser. That way the apps make better use of the features of the OS.
- HugoDaniel 10y agoBe aware that this is not the case of an app "breaking out of the browser": BrowserWindow = require('electron').BrowserWindow . . . mainWindow = new BrowserWindow { width: 730 height: 590 icon: path.join __dirname, 'icons', 'icon.png' show: true titleBarStyle: 'hidden-inset' if process.platform is 'darwin' } in https://github.com/yakyak/yakyak/blob/master/src/main.coffee https://github.com/yakyak/yakyak/blob/master/src/main.coffee
- SlashmanX 10y agoI would've assumed that code was implied by the whole 'It uses Electron' thing in your first comment. And it is breaking out of the browser seeing as you don't need to open a browser and type in a URL to view it.
- reaktivo 10y agoI'm not sure if I can understand if your comment is a complaint or not.
- HugoDaniel 10y agoIt is just a remark. Although i do prefer to reuse the current running browser.
- reaktivo 10y agoYour comment read as if you meant the app was just a wrapper around a web app. It's not, although that doesn't make much of a difference.
