create chrome standalone app to extract archives

Open vtolstov opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Thanks for this app, but does it possible to get standalone chrome app to use not only in chrome os?

the trouble is that this relies on nacl which is being deprecated, and usually the OS has a much better native archive manager (e.g. performance and UI and file system access), so it'd be really hard to compete.

i'm not worry about performance. I want to have app that can easy installed in all os without needing to install additional software. SO if this is not very hard to do - can you modify app do not use nacl?

it should be possible to use wasm here instead of NaCl, but at least for Windows, imo something like 7-zip is better than anything i'd be able to produce in a reasonable amount of time.

i wouldn't mind taking PRs from people to make the app work standalone.
