Well, everything has to be installed *somewhere* :) What I mean is that I can buy a new computer, connect it to the internet, and go to: https://kaleguy.github.io/leovue/#/t/1 and I'm using Leo on the web... except it's read only. I think any read / write browser interface for Leo must provide the same zero install access. Jupyter notebooks can be accessed this way too. So sure, for development and for general use if the browser interface replaces the Qt interface you'd do something like: python launchLeo.py --gui=html firefox http://127.0.0.1:8730/ and it would all be local / desktop Key point is that http://127.0.0.1:8730/ could be http://my.server.com/leo/ or maybe http://leohost.com/tbrown/ ;-) without any additional work (hosting setup aside). And while I would think Electron apps. could work that way, I don't see it in an extremely superficial skimming of the interwebs. Seems to me that Electron is focused on making local desktop apps. using a javascript / browser stack, which isn't part of the challenge of "browser Leo", in my opinion. If the goal is being able to use cool web/html visualizations in Leo on the desktop, they can just be embedded in QWebEngineView, problem solved. To me the goal is Leo being anywhere there's a web browser :) Cheers -Terry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
