I've been following node-webkit and AppJS on github for a while and they both look great, though I haven't actually used them. Maybe (hopefully) I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like you can compile an app to a standalone binary with either; specifically on OSX.
- toni 14y agoBy "... compile an app to a standalone binary", do you mean that you would like node-webkit/appjs to convert your HTML5/JS files to ObjectiveC? That would be really amazing, but this is just like phonegap/cordova. It basically shields your files around a webkit wrapper.
- _neil 14y agoI mean being able to compile to a .app file on OSX, .exe on windows, etc. TideSDK can do this in a wrapper-type of way like you mentioned.
- toni 14y agoYes, node-webkit does that too. Check out: https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/How-to-package-and-distribute-your-apps https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/How-to-package...
- fairwinds 14y agoTideSDK handles the packaging and bundles everything into packaging native to the platform. You don't have to worry about what to include because it is gathered and packaged for you.
