Re: [nodejs] web app programming as if it were a desktop app over socket.io

if you ever get time it'd be great if you could put your library on npm! i'd be very curious to try out the technique. On Friday, 18 October 2013 14:48:47 UTC+2, David Goehrig wrote: > > > > > On Oct 18, 2013, at 3:18 AM, Eric Reynolds > > > > wrote: > > > > That sounds great, I am just wonder
