Hi,
Using AppJS you can create desktop applications with familiar
technologies: HTML5/CSS/JS. It uses CEF ( chromium embedded framework
) and it's cross platform ( or is going to be! ).
I tried to provide a nice API to work with. Here is an example:
var appjs = require('appjs');
var window;
// Initialize appjs.
var app = appjs.init();
// Called when page load finishes.
app.on("ready",function(){
console.log("Event Ready called");
// Runs a script in browser context.
window.runInBrowser(function(){
var body = document.body;
body.style.color="#f60";
});
// Show created window ( see below )
window.show();
});
// Called when webview needs to load
// a resource of type appjs://
app.on("route",function(req,callback){
// req.url and req.method are available
if(req.url == "appjs://app/") {
callback("text/html",
"<html>\
<head><title>Hello world</title></head>\
<body>Hello World</body>\
</html>");
}
});
// Creates a new window. Its invisible until window.show() get called.
window = app.createWindow({entryPoint:"appjs://app/",autoResize:false});
There are still works to do:
* Implementing platform specific codes for Mac and Windows.
* Implementing a good router like ExpressJS router.
* Separating Node thread from UI thread.
* Implementing DOM listeners etc.
If you like AppJS, help me to improve it;)
If you have any idea let me know.

Looks highly interesting.
I´ll keep an eye on that project :-)

Hey!
AppJS supports Windows now. Going to support Mac OS too.

Looks good! How did you build the windows/linux cef binaries?

Thanks! What do you mean by how? I built linux libraries with chroot lucid 32bit and precise 64bit. Brandon Benvie built Windows binary and passed them to me:) Looking for someone to build it for Mac OS X! Revision 1.1099.611
