App Structure #1

Open malikpiara opened 5 years ago

malikpiara commented 5 years ago

Building my first web-app using Electron. The purpose is to write an app that:

Reads .md files and displays them on the screen.
Allows the user to use the UI to edit .md files.
Writes changes to original .md files.

@ulissesferreira @fabiofcferreira: Can you guide/help me figuring out the app structure in a way that makes more sense? Because I just started learning I'll have to refactor my code as I get acquainted with Node + React.

I can share some insights on how we are structuring Upframe's Connect because I did a lot of research regarding best practices on React projects... One things you have to keep in mind though, Electron is not the same as React. When I have some time I will write a more detailed post here 👍

Also, read this about Electron. https://josephg.com/blog/electron-is-flash-for-the-desktop/ I love Electron, I really do, I really like it's concept but you need to be aware of all it's limitations 😄
