dev using electron #109

Open ahdinosaur opened 7 years ago

ahdinosaur commented 7 years ago

i had this idea: what if we developed apps using electron?

would mean no build step, so could be much faster, plus easy to build tooling for since we have access to everything.

the downside is that this might make it too easy to develop code that doesn't work in the browser at all.

i'm personally excited by this - what restrictions could we put in place so that code would work in the browser? testing? what types of JS wouldn't run in the browser but does in Electron? (i.e. fs stuff?)
