Yet another start of a mobile Linux backed by Intel, yet another, non-backwards-compatible UI stack.
Previous ones were: Moblin (Gtk and Clutter) and MeeGo (Qt and QML). Now Tizen (HTML5, whatever that means in this case). Will be hard to convince developers that they'll really stick to this one.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoTechnically they could bundle GTK3 and get Waypoint HTML5 apps for free.
- sciurus 15y agoAn HTML5 app is an app written using HTML5. A GTK app is an app written using GTK. A GTK3 app rendered on an <canvas> is still a GTK app.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoRight, despite the downvote (what don't we downvote for these days people), this platform (can and may [if some rumors thus far are true]) support GTK. I don't know what your reply is supposed to mean. (I suppose it may have been from my poor use of the phrasing "Waypoint HTML5 apps" although if we're going to nitpick over it, I would argue a frontend rendered in HTML5/canvas at least partially qualifies for the moniker.) My point is that since this will likely ship with the GTK3 runtime support, it can render to a web app interface. Meaning that the Tizen project maintainers or consumers can write GUIs that just handle HTML5 "cards" like in WebOS (as they seem to allude is their goal), and be able to utilize any applications built for GTK3 without having to shim in new elements to their window manager.
