Electron based integration of nextcloud hub apps #2839

Open pschopen opened 3 years ago

pschopen commented 3 years ago

I'm not a developer but I managed to build an electron app for my personal purposes that opens up my nextcloud instance as a webpage. Makes it a bit smoother to work with nextcloud and offers the look and feel of a proper application, with a matching Icon, etc.

However, that doesn't solve the issue that files are downloaded after clicking instead of opening in the correct piece of software or at least pointing to the correct path within windows explorer to be opened from there.

I can't really estimate the effort but the electron app was quickly created via https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier – maybe this is an easy to develop feature for nextcloud desktop? Would make it immediately a serious competitor to slack and teams.

Would be better to do this via QtWebEngine but otherwise yes, that's be a worthwhile thing to pursue. This is a long term thing though, don't expect work on this soon.
