I've open sourced the JavaFX app I was working on for the past six months or so. Lighthouse is a Bitcoin crowdfunding application that uses some of the more novel features of the Bitcoin protocol to allow middleman free fund raising.
There's a video of it in action here: http://blog.vinumeris.com/2014/09/12/lighthouse-alpha-now-open-source/ and some screenshots here: https://github.com/vinumeris/lighthouse Additionally I've open sourced UpdateFX, which is an auto update engine that provides some interesting features: https://github.com/vinumeris/updatefx It's kind of rough still but if anyone is looking for an alternative to the existing update engines out there, take a look. I just wanted to say thanks to the OpenJFX team for your help and support this summer. I've very much enjoyed working both with you all and the framework you've created. I believe JavaFX is a surprisingly good fit for the Bitcoin community, because we suffer quite badly from the limitations and problems of web apps. HTML5 + decentralisation don't mix very well. A plain old desktop app works better, and JavaFX is a good way to build such things. thanks, -mike
