I'm sure that you are probably expecting this question, but will there be a Linux version of this software? Thank you.

Hi!

Looking at the free software attribution page in the help center - https://support.google.com/webdesigner/answer/3413931?hl=en - its not clear how ChromeFrame is being handled.

If GWD used Node-Webkit, it would be cross platform, plus have native Mac menu bar integration, like LightTable.

Cheers
Dave

If it is released for linux, a tarball in addition to a .deb and/or a .rpm would be awesome. It just makes life a little easier for those of us not on redhat/debian derivatives.

Thanks muchly. :)

somebody hear this guy's thoughts!! well said. But, there should be a linux version underway. Because webdesigners mostly aren't coders and they stick to what they know the best, the windows and mac. Please bring it to linux so that you can make coders as designers!!
Cheers. :)

There was a comment from the Chrome team that when this project started, Chrome Apps couldn't do everything that this app required. With the latest updates, Chrome Apps can do what is needed. They said that they would be talking to the GWD team about making a version that will run on ChromeOS.

I'm personally very excited about that, but as a fallback I'd be OK with a version that runs on Linux. I did notice that one of the help pages mentions Linux, so I'm guessing that there is an internal Linux version that is not yet ready for announcement/beta. Hopefully soon...

Por favor considerar esta solicitud. Somos muchos los que ya NO utilizamos Windows o Mac y el software es bastante bueno. Necesitamos una versión para Linux (Ubuntu)

okay not that i am staff but i think its FISH or CUT BAIT time for all the penguins

i think you can in fact get the source for GWD (staff help on a link here??) so there is no reason you could not take a swing at sorting out a linux version.

side note how could somebody go about unpaking the PAK files??


from what i can see somebody needs to POST the source

they think that supporting others will compete against android and chromeOS...
if you wanna still use debian, fedora and others, its better looking for another company...

Oh, come one Google, no Linux version?! Seriously? We thought you knew better by now! Please get your act together, if there's already little excuse for not having native versions of some of your other programs, there's no excuse at all for not having a linux version of a web development tool! ;)
