Lines of code generally represent complexity. Complexity represents liability and responsibility.
`node-webkit` is built into a binary, it has some special packaging requirements for your files, it offers non web compatible APIs. None of this appealed to me while I was looking for a solution. AppJS is also pretty cool but has some of the same complications, it also only builds 32bit because of a problem with a 3rd party dependency. Node-chrome simply demonstrates how well Node.js and Google Chrome (as two autonomous binaries) can cooperate. Node-chrome is the absolute least amount of glue needed to create a desktop experience. I have a low tolerance for complexity. ;) On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 11:20 AM, Scott Elcomb <pse...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 7:00 PM, mgutz <mario.l.gutier...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Monday, February 4, 2013 1:04:26 PM UTC-8, hij1nx wrote: > >> > >> node-chrome(3) > >> A tiny module for building desktop apps.
