Determine the Future of this Project in the Face of Chrome App Deprecation #385

Open leoherzog opened 4 years ago

leoherzog commented 4 years ago

By June 2022, Chrome Apps will be deprecated on all platforms. Google suggests moving to PWAs. Decide how, if at all, this project will move forward.

Tagged as an enhancement :-)

I wrote briefly about this here: https://support.kiosk.cook.company/hc/en-us/community/posts/360056328932-Chrome-Application-EOL-Next-Steps

Existing Chrome OS app will be replaced with a native Android version as soon as possible. Will also be moving away from the nwjs + chrome-app based desktop application as well. Design for this is still in progress. Ideally, we could extend PWA with an extension or js library to reach feature parity, but it's not clear if that will be possible. Per-platform native development may be the best route at this point.

For those curious PWA is in development in the gh-pages branch (preview: https://code.cook.company/kiosk).
