Hi Andrew, this is a very nice idea :-)
Maybe you can integrate osx-packager to efler - or whatever this will be called :-) - (https://git.enlightenment.org/devs/jayji/osx-packager.git/). It is able to create a .APP to run an EFL program on Mac OS X as a standard application package. It needs some polishing (e.g. the rpath resolution is still pretty lame, efreetd is poorly handled), but it does the job. And I also like the website stuff thing :-) Jean On Sat, Sep 10, 2016 at 1:43 AM, jose_...@juno.com <jose_...@juno.com> wrote: > > That's a very cool idea Andrew. :) > > Even with just the 'discover' aspect, maybe in conjunction with a website > for other e-stuff (like exchange) providing a native ui front-end to that, > this would be nice.. especially with an easy 'download/install' mechanism. > > Just to nitpick, as you mention name could be cooler (though it's not bad as > is). > Maybe Expo?
