Electron App / Offline usage

[kevyworks]

Is is possible you can also release a electron app?

In Chrome:

• "..." button (top right)
• "Install SVGOMG"

Should do the work. No need to build an another 50Mo app for that I think :)

@kevyworks why do you want an Electron app?

[kevyworks]

@jakearchibald to run it offline..

[kevyworks]

@Alex-D Where is this "..." I am on Mac OS

[jakearchibald]

@kevyworks it already works offline.

[Alex-D]

@kevyworks maybe a hamburger icon?

It does not work offline and how would there be an install for this in Chrome on osx?!?!

SO offline in like save the page and open it?! Because that wont work and no errors show in the inspector.

PS saving it from Safari as webarchive does work. Yet not everything goes well, but it dismiss stays in view. I guess illustrator is also a bugger.

I need to delete the BS header illustrator has. <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 21.0.0, SVG Export Plug-In -->

otherwise i get this error Load failed: Error in parsing SVG: Text data outside of root node. Line: 9 Column: 1 Char:

Ensure you have Chrome 73 (latest version, PWA is a new feature from this version).

[jakearchibald]

@schroef you don't need to save it, just visit https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/ when you're offline.

@Alex-D That is not entirely correct. PWAs and offline capabilities have been supported in Chrome for a long time. The new feature in Chrome 73 is that you can properly install a PWA as a Desktop PWA on Mac OS.

But as Jake said, for the app to work offline, you just have to have visited the app once and then you can just navigate to the app’s URL even when offline.

[schroef]

@surma , Yes i just noticed that as well.

PS i just tried this chrome://flags/#enable-desktop-pwas Set it to Enable and now i got it install on osx :)
