JavaScript Wrapper/Transpiler #367

Open lidel opened 8 years ago

lidel commented 8 years ago

Is Python backend at api.proselint.com running just for the demo page? (broken in FF)

I wonder if it would be feasible to run it entirely in the browser using one of these py2js solutions.

It would be an one-time investment that removes the cost of maintaining the backend server and provides a reusable JS wrapper library for the linter itself.

The Python backend is there both for the demo page and for future services that may be created using it, such as a GitHub CI bot or Wikipedia bot. I do like the idea of running it entirely in the browser. My fear is that doing so will limit the kinds of NLP packages (e.g., #110) and other tools that we can use.

@lidel Did you end up creating a JS wrapper for the library or using it in JS?

lidel commented 7 years ago

No, I did no work related to this.
