So just for the sake of completeness, maybe, and since Electron seems to be the most popular solution; what about a website? Fairly ubiquitous across all platforms with the help of Chrome, Firefox, and even Safari or Edge. I don’t think should be dismissed as often as is, consider VS Code on Github.com (hit the period key in a repo and the repo’s code is presented with VS Code in a browser — and it supports syncing extensions — though not all, for example).
To me it makes sense from tne perspective of the work being done in HTML, CSS & JS to make an Electron app. Why not start as a website then desktop?
I get there are certain pieces of functionality not suited for a website; but based on the original post’s question and description it seems feasible.
- mariocesar 5y agoI need to read/write to the filesystem, think the app is like a personal document manager. Also will like to associate filetypes with it, and for the most important thing is being able to send notifications and make sure my backend is syncing data all the time
- brundolf 5y agoFor the record you can do the last two things with a website these days. Still sounds like it won't work for your project, though.
