Is this just a thin shell designed to allow you to write a web app that appears in its own OS window? Or is there an attempt to offer interfaces to all the APIs Qt and the various OSes make available for making truly native apps? As in, can I spawn multiple windows? Can I have an OS menu bar with commands that open OS dialog boxes and settings windows and so forth? If you're just trying for the former, great. But your association with Qt sounds like you're trying for the latter, and I'm just incredibly burned-out on cross-platform frameworks because almost every app I've seen made with has an awful user experience. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
