Standalone desktop application?

Open baimafeima opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

Is there also a standalone desktop application of loopy capable to run on a Linux-based operating system?

If you download the repo and open up index.html in Firefox, it should work just fine locally!

(Chrome has a "problem" where it won't do AJAX calls on file://, because of cross-origin security whatever. If you want to use Chrome, you'll need to run a local server using http-server or something)

Thanks, but I actually meant whether you have any plans to develop a standalone desktop version of loopy. The look and feel would be different from opening it in a browser.

What about putting it in Electron?

@Ryuno-Ki Yeah, why not. Probably the easiest way given it's browser-based?

If users are confidant doing it, they can use Nativefier to create a standalone app from this site (or any other) that will run on their system.

I'm having trouble thinking of compelling use cases. I see you're interested in privacy -- is that it?
