Separate UI to its own project #112

Closed haadcode closed 7 years ago

haadcode commented 7 years ago

The Electron app and browser UI should be separated to its own project and repository.

It would also be nice if the backend libraries didnt rely on anything with DOM or Node.js specific stuff.

This would allow the libraries to be used for a QML based client, which has its own javascript environment.

@r0kk3rz have you come across this somewhere? I totally agree with what you're saying and would to know where it breaks atm so I can fix it. Let me know if there's anything specific that is not working.

r0kk3rz commented 7 years ago

@haadcode I haven't come across anything specific yet, but creating a QML client for orbit is something I would like to do. So its something to consider with any refactoring work you might be doing

@r0kk3rz got it, thanks for the comments!

haadcode commented 7 years ago

This has been done. The code in this repo was finally split accordingly and can be found in the new location under github/orbitdb organization:

@r0kk3rz you should now be able to use orbit-core as a module to build new clients and programs for Orbit. Let me know if there's anything else we can do to help!
