[CLOSED] Wish for Feature: Use brackets to easier develop apps in node-webkit #6048

I love live preview in the browser while developing front end.

Since engine shall be fairly same (do not know details) I hope it is possible to do the same development facilities with node-webkit (in the same fashion as with chrome). This would accelerate developing of desktop applications in HTML.

@ljgww I call this a Move to Backlog. It seems like you're asking about Live Development for projects that use node-webkit, in other words, one is authoring in Brackets and deploying on node-webkit - do I get this right?

Yes, you get this right. Instead of viewing in chrome - to view in node-web kit.

I realized later this could be a plug-in. (maybe to think of some sort of hook for that)

i know that javascript dialects of browser javascript and node javascript is somewhat different, but I already often use Brackets to edit node.js code. It is still javascript.

If such possibility is available one can use Brackets to write/design web apps but also desktop apps based on node-webkit.

+1 nw.js is the future, and currently there are no IDE -s for it. I think brackets would be a great fit. What stands in the way of using nw.js as live preview, instead of chrome?

@jasonsanjose I recall you talking about a possible implementation of node-webkit based approach. Could you fill in more details here?

@nethip I believe that was research about running Brackets itself on top of node-webkit (instead of brackets-shell as today). The request here is about pointing Live Preview at node-webkit (instead of the Chrome browser as today).

With Multi-Browser Live Preview, this should already work. For classic Live Preview, which probably isn't going away in the near future, it's more complex -- should probably be part of the Live Development w/ Custom Chrome Install story. I'll add a note there and then close this.
