When you say you can't open it in anything but Windows 8.1...why would that be the case? There are project files for sublime and vs2013 on github...it's just javascript.
- nekitamo 11y agoWhen you try to open the Visual Studio project files, it gives you an error that you need Windows 8.1 installed. That's lame. I'm aware I can open the .js files in a text editor, but that's like saying I could work on a C# project by just editing the .cs files in a text editor. Sure that's possible... but I would rather use the IDE.
- joe_hoyle 11y agoJS is overwhelmingly edited in text editors, see Sublime, Coda, VIM, Emacs. Comparing to C# in this regard is not a good one. I find code completions / intelligence for JavaScript is very basic compared to something like C#.
- nekitamo 11y agoSure, and I accept that. But I would at the very least like to be able to open these files in Visual Studio and inspect them. It doesn't even let me to that much. It just gives me a lame error message about how I have to upgrade to Windows 8.1.
- Aleman360 11y agoThey're dependent on the Windows Runtime API's from Windows 8.1 or 10. You can't use WinJS with Windows 7.
- sudioStudio64 11y agoYou know what? I see what you mean. I just found that...it's using a windows store app as a test harness. They should also publish a sample website demo project for the rest of the planet that isn't using 8.1.
