Re: [tw5] Re: NodeGUI Hosted Tiddlywiki?

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Everyone

Electron and nw.js are alternate takes on marrying the Node.js runtime with the 
Chromium browser, and make it possible to create native apps that integrate web 
browser functionality.

node-gui is subtly different: it combines the Node.js runtime with the Qt cross 
platform GUI framework: https://www.qt.io/ , and it doesn’t 
integrate a web browser.

The promise of node-gui is that it can be much lighter weight than Electron or 
nw.js (browsers are huge these days), and be a bit closer to the metal in that 
Qt is a fairly low level API.

If one were to write a TiddlyDesktop-like thing in node-gui it therefore 
wouldn’t be able to integrate the browser view, but instead would rely on an 
external browser.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Hi Tony


Am I wrong but is nodegui for coders only?

Yes. It's akin to NW.js (and Electron). So consider it a "TiddlyDesktop 
alternative" and you'll be on track. right now it's still too early in the 
dev cycle from what I've read, but the mission sounds interesting.

An assessment would be better coming from Arlen, I think - 
TiddlyServer-backed TWs running in NodeGUI would be a nice all-round fit, I 
think. And besides, I really don't have the time these days.

[TonyM]

Coda,

Looks interesting yet I can't help that think in some ways tiddlywiki is 
already superior. Tiddlywiki can contain the SDK, editor, instructions and 
data all in the same file. 

Am I wrong but is nodegui for coders only?

If the publishing and distribution methods are better I would rather see 
these options introduced to TiddlyWiki than the other way around, but then 
I am biased.

Keep sharing your discoveries, and if possible add your own assessment, 
rather than just a link, even if the assessment comes later.

Regards
Tony
