I’ll throw in my +1. Electron is awesome, and I’ve used it to wrap a PG project for a client where they are demoing the app to their potential clients because they don’t have devices to share from, and they don’t have the expertise for emulators (they are sales reps). Because I can wrap everything in a simple .exe (plus a couple menu items for switching app themes), it provides enough of a simulation that anyone who can double-click a file can use. (It’s not a perfect sim, of course, but good enough.)
I’d hope that plugins that target the browser would hop on the electron platform as well, because there’s no reason why they shouldn’t work in electron. But I would also imagine that there could be electron-specific which would be very interesting to see. :-) So I’m going to be watching this with extreme interest. :-) On June 11, 2015 at 1:53:24 PM, Shazron ([email protected]) wrote: The potential maintainer for cordova-osx in this thread has decided to go in another direction -- the final nail in its coffin.
