Show HN: Send Vue.js apps as an email

• zubairq 8y ago
  I made appshare as a simple way to makeand share Vue.js apps. You can save an app as a single HTML file with no dependencies and then email that HTML file to someone else. If the app has no network access then it can run fully offline too

    Is this limited to Vue.js apps only? Can I send emails with SPAs built using another framework (i.e. React)?
    • zubairq 8y ago
      Unfortunately not, it is Vue.js only as I use the system for teaching people in companies, and most of the find Vue.js easier. An earlier version of AppShare actually used React but I swapped it out, first for MoonJS, and then for Vue.js. Even with Vue.js it doesn't support the full Vue.js syntax however. Maybe a wrong decision to ditch React (which I love) but people wanted Vue :(

        My SPA is actually written in Elm and I'd like to be able to send it via email.

          Sorry I can't help with Elm. Unless there is a way to minimise the JavaScript generated by the elm compiler and copy and paste that into a HTML file?

  Curious, what's a use case for emailing an app?
  • zubairq 8y ago
    In large enterprises links to internal apps die all the time, so by emailing the actual app the end user still has a good chance that they can see what they did in a year or two from that date. Not very useful for small companies, but in large companies where you auditing is important as you often have to know what happened two years ago then this can be very useful
