Some of the suggestions were to migrate the existing web page into a distributable wrapper, such as one built through Electron. It is a development project in its own right, which would benefit the community. That such a project would indeed be distributable and of benefit to more than the developer would be in most cases the reason for someone to undertake such a project. Electron is a software development tool, not user utility. Such is the confusion that I have read into some of the responses given to my inquiry.

There is no software that only can be run when shipped as a package, except on a system that has some very serious sandboxing restrictions. It is plain, though, from my reading, that many participants in the discussion might benefit from a package that were available for distribution, in all the same ways and for all the same reasons as why I might benefit from it. Discussing what I generally am able or willing to do to my own system was not the reason I opened the discussion, and (without recalling every detail that I shared) it may be wise to avoid making inferences to such effect. Sharing these choices is not what would tend to add value to a question of the kind such as the one I asked. The purpose rather was to learn current options available from the community. Once having such information, I may then weigh the choices for suitability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brainchild's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=73088 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116934 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
