shower thought - rctv as an electron app? #55

Open gregsadetsky opened 7 months ago

gregsadetsky commented 7 months ago

maybe the rctv client app should be an electron app

that way, it removes any issues/network cookie-find-replacing around iframes -- the urls just run in a "regular" browser

and the electron app can do stuff -- change the url, etc. -- independently

electron apps can also be packaged for android, etc. so "running" rctv at home would be more realistic?

it would definitely be harder in the sense that distributing would require creating binaries - for win, mac, etc. etc.

but the alternative - to iframe all urls and deal with url issues..? - seems..? more complicated/limiting maybe?

note that there also new alternatives to electron? I think? that may be less heavy/easier/faster.......??? (and offer the same bundling/binary support? I doubt it?)
