Interesting.
I am thinking of making Sciter Engine as a chrome for mobile devices. So mobile UI can be defined in terms of HTML/CSS with code-behind-UI written in C/C++ or script.
Conceptually that would be close to FirefoxOS but more inclined into native side. Or at least will have more flexibility in this respect.
Is it interesting at all?
- ptrott2017 7y agoDefinitely of interest. Also of interest would be using Sciter for embedded (but not mobile) apps. Its a natural fit for certain markets. Are you still considering open sourcing Sciter? I personally hope so - but also know how much is involved in going down that path.
- c-smile 7y ago"would be using Sciter for embedded apps" that is not a problem already. E.g. it runs on ARMs like Raspberry Pi. SDK contains binaries that use GTK but it is possible to run it without any window manager. Access to FB or video memory is enough. As of OpenSource, yes I have plans for that. The only problem is that OS is a great responsibility, at least for me. It is going to be a significant effort to document source code, etc. I am actively looking for sponsors for the effort.
- ptrott2017 7y agore: embedded - I thought as much - I think it likely just needs some use cases and marketing to drive adoptions. Regarding Open source / sponsorship / support: - Andrew I will follow up directly via email over weekend.
- anilgulecha 7y agoYes! How can I reach out to you?
