I was just daydreaming about writing a web-based interface to a secure cloud storage (ala DropBox) using Qt. I imagined clients who would need to use Desktop-based browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) for the ability to securely access their documents for review or modification (in, say, PDF format).
I went a-Googling for the potential. I came up with was emscripten (https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki). While that looks interesting, I don't think it is practical enough for professional use. I also discovered a trick of launching an external Qt app, that uses the native window pointer, via a browser plug-in. I'm just curious to know if there been any other (more elegant) work in this area? Everything Qt today seems to be targeted at stand-alone "apps" for mobile (iOS, Android, WinRT, etc.), which I suppose would work on a Desktop, but has the browser-hosted Qt widget interface been panned as unsupportable? _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
