Feature Request: Ability to open folder as "App" for testing

Open kveroneau opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

As I was exploring Puter, really liking everything I am seeing so far with it. When I went to test out how apps work, and it seems to require a full deployment to open it within a contained window on the virtual desktop. It would be nice if there was an option in the right-click context menu to open the folder as an "App", either for only using locally, say if one doesn't want to make it public at the moment, and still need further testing. It would also save on the additional activity and server related tasks to performing a deployment of an app.

Really look forward to seeing where this eco-system will go in the future.

Hi there! this is a great idea, thank you taking the time to write it up. I'm determined to fixed the 'app preview' issue once and for all; we have a little bit of a backlog due to our launch last week, but we'll take care of it.

@jelveh Hi, I would like to spend some time on this idea. How about we just skip the step of deploying on the "Dev Center" and directly show the window of the local appp?
