Front End Decisions
Since we want to ensure that we effectively bridge the bittorrent and webtorrent torrent protocols, we need to distribute a desktop client.
Tuan says that right now we should be looking at:
-
electron
- webtorrent-desktop is an elecron-based cross-platform desktop application that fits the bill nicely. I'm guessing that it could be made to show a user's content feed.
-
ionic
- Ionic is typescript so at the least that means we have to do type definitions for webtorrent in order to use it.
-
react-native
- When @ozzadar used this to make a mobile app it came out so good he called me. I hear it's pretty different, though. @ekitcho used react to make busy.org. I've bandied about in my mind the idea of trying to contract with their team.
Jake wants to add to the "watched" list:
-
flutter
- Write native mobile apps in dart. Doesn't have a webtorrent library yet, unless dart can import js.
