Why not browser? As mention in the other comment, I've been using some web-based tools. Somehow, they don't last (ie. namemesh, or domainsfortherestofus that @pwdisswordfish8 mention went offline for sometimes).
Then I thought having a desktop app would be great. For long term, you don't have to worry the site is down.
- junon 5y agoHow would you meaningfully use this tool in offline mode?
- docuru 5y agoNot using it offline, definitely need the internet. What I meant was, you don't have to worry if the tool you're using suddenly disappears.
- indigodaddy 5y agoI have no idea how people aren’t getting this. People, if the website that the tool is hosted on is down or gone, then you are dead out of water. That’s why he made a local tool. Get it?
- junon 5y agoYes, though electron still isn't required.
- indigodaddy 5y agoI don’t necessarily disagree with you on that point.
- docuru 5y agoThe code can't run with only client JS. It needs a backend. ElectronJS allows running NodeJS as backend. I tried React Native (only support JS on the client-side, need to build native modules to run some core functions for languages), Flutter (a few missing utilities, not so familiar). I have answer why a desktop app in other comments so I won't repeat. Electron is the best fit in this situation.
