i haven't yet successfully accomplished that, but that's out of ignorance of the details as opposed to it being technically impossible.

It was a pretty simple config issue on my (web) server.


The catch with that is, that the fields are, by and large, customizable on the server side. This is taken from the main fossil repo's config:

Right, I understand that... what I eventually figured out is that I can indeed POST a bug report, if I am careful with all the fields I put in. Anyway, it's working, and by modifying the 'view report' page so there is a specific 'id' associated with the UUID element, I can be assured that even as fossil changes I should be able to give my users the correct feedback.

LOL! For HTML-based apps it's not normally all that hard anymore - gross compatibility problems between the modern JS engines have become the exception, not the rule (the situation was the other way around 10 years ago). For non-HTML apps which themselves embed a JS engine (Google v8. Mozilla Rhino, etc.) there are other problems, e.g. the JS engine probably doesn't have any networking support built in or does not have a full DOM-like environment, so one normally has a lot more work to do.
My problem is a bit more difficult: my app is designed and written in HTML5/CSS3/Javascript, but is meant to be a standalone application. There's PhoneGap for the mobile devices, but I want similar functionality (ideally the same exact APIs) on the desktop (Windows/OSX/Linux). The app is a port of my current app written for native Android (e.g. Java)

That's doable, but it looks like I am going to have to do my own version of "PhoneGap" to get where I want to go...
