Electron app? #86

Open rikai opened 7 years ago

rikai commented 7 years ago

When we get around to getting user logins and start adding features, an electron app might be nice to interface with the frontend.

I am not sure I see what the advantage of an electron app over a plain old web interface would be here. As far as I can tell, there aren't any system-specific integrations that would be able to take advantage of this.

Also, I believe this would take a rather large API redesign as an Electron app would be be best suited to making API calls via HTTP as opposed to interacting with it solely via IRC as is currently the case.

This should be backlogged until after the redesign currently being discussed in #84 is done.

Precisely why i gave the description in the first message. It doesn't make sense for the current iteration, but it may down the road and i created an issue to tag the idea for future consideration. :)
