Hello, I'm thinking about how to design some apllication, and I really want to write as much code as possible in node. However, a nice user interface is very important for it, too. Also, it needs to be runnable on all major operating systems. I'm thinking about whether it's going to be feasible to do the GUI stuff (a bunch of windows, I need to be able to spawn new windows, it'd be nice to have a notification bar icon, ...) in node. If not, I might use Java for that and do a connection over localhost, but I really want to avoid that. So, what can I use?
- node-webkit looks nice, but I think it might be slow and is ugly because it uses DOM. Also, it currently requires me to manually patch webkit code for installing and I think it doesn't run on Windows yet - there's a bunch of attempts to do GTK bindings, but most of them seem to be pretty old and unmaintained - however, node-gui looks promising to me, and according to the README, it also works on Windows What's your opinion? Anything important I didn't consider? Are there any bigger examples of GUI code written in node I could look at?
