Create standalone cross-platform app #8

Open blahah opened 10 years ago

Use node-webkit and grunt node-webkit builder, with a simple HTML5 GUI for launching and getting the results of scraping sessions.

This does not negate the need for installation refinement for the command-line tool (#6).

Is this something you'd see as a possible project to take on as part of the upcoming Mozilla sprint https://etherpad.mozilla.org/swc-sprint-2014 ?

Sweet — I'll see if I can make progress on this specific issue then. If there's anything (other than the code) that you reckon I ought to look at for prep, I'm happy to look at pointers.

@darobin yes, this would be a nice target. The main target will be to expand the collection of journal scrapers (https://github.com/ContentMine/journal-scrapers), but getting the standalone app would be nice. If you do work on this I'll join in.
