Does it support running on the web? #46

Hello, I am preparing to use your project to learn the code. I followed the instructions to execute npm i -- force, npm start, and open it in the browser using the localhost: 8282 port. However, the page prompts that window.IPC is undefined in src/renderer/index.js, so I am not sure if the project does not support it, or if there is a problem with my startup or node environment

The project is split in 2 parts :

A web app for the interface and provide user control
The Electron (backend) part that create files and allow the app to do operations on the user drive

At the moment, both are required, npm start should open a new window and it should be usable, you should use this window, it's not possible to open it in a classic web browser.

In the future, we plan to.make a full web/mobile app that allow users to use the app using a classic web browser 😊

📣 Eagle Animation can now be used from any browser, although some features are a bit more limited.

➡️ The announcement will be made when version 2.5.0 will be released, but you can already access it on the dev branch or on https://app.eagle-animation.com/

I close the issue 😉
