Hi Anthony You should be able to get first-class support for Electron as I know there are a few Electron-based snaps in progress.
I wanted to bring your mail thread into the new list ([email protected]). I'm pretty sure your use case, a web-based kiosk style snap, is going to be very common. So for now I would suggest that you work on a desktop snap that works on plain old Ubuntu 16.04 desktop in --devmode while other folks work out the kinks for non-X11 electron snaps. That wont take long and then yours will fit right in :) Mark On 25/04/16 17:29, Anthony Kolodzinski wrote: > Hi all, > > I am new to Snappy development, and have a question regarding an > application I am developing. > > My requirement is to be able to run a minimal, single window GUI using > HTML, CSS, Javascript, and to be able to run it natively using a framework > like electron <http://electron.atom.io/>. > > My question is, should I attempt to build X and electron in a docker > container, and hook that into my monitor, or use something like the QT Web > Engine <http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-index.html> with MIR. > > Secondly, I have searched around, but if anybody has any resources that > provide examples on how to accomplish this it would be greatly appreciated. > Thanks. > > >
