Inter-app communication

[jo...@bitovi.com]

Hey gang,

I was curious about the ability to have outside applications interact with a node-webkit app in a more ornate way than just using gui.Shell. A real clear example of this would be in OSX with Notification Center. Having the app trigger a notification, clicking on the notification and having the node-webkit app respond in some appropriate way.

Is everything pretty much limited to using gui.Shell, the child_process node library, and listening to the open event on gui.App? Is there something more robust that I might be missing?

I guess you need to look after system IPC (like D-Bus on linux) and node.js integration
