I really dig the app, but there's a few features that won't be trivial to implement to get the feel of a native app:
- Native notifications
- Actual window (to replace the "dragging any part of the screen drags the window" and to minimize the app)
- Ability to hide the app away by just closing it
Also I have a big scrollbar on the right, no matter the size of the window (I'm on a 15" MacBook Pro Retina).
Keep up the good work!
- SwellJoe 12y ago- Native notifications I've noticed Firefox (maybe just developer edition) asks for permission to provide notifications on some sites (specifically Udacity). I have been meaning to see what those are, but I assumed it was native-ish notifications. So maybe that would be possible to implement in a web app, I dunno.

- joeyspn 12y agoI implemented all of this building a whatsapp desktop version of whatsapp web (also with nw.js) and it is working fine... It's really simple to do. Slack is also a nw.js app if you haven't noticed, so it is the proof that you can get a near-native behavior... =) I haven't uploaded the repo cos I fear backlash from facebook even if it is just a wrapper... Remember that the guy that built WhatsAPI/yowsup has been banned from fb and whatsapp...
