From the webpage:
node-webkit is an app runtime based on
Chromiumandnode.js. You can write native apps in HTML and Javascript with node-webkit. It also lets you to call Node.js modules directly from DOM and enables a new way of writing native applications with all Web technologies.
Will HTML5 and Javascript, via apps like node-webkit free users from developer based interfaces?
Developer based interfaces are intended to be useful for others, or at least I suspect so, but quite often fall short of the mark.
Apps like node-webkit should encourage rapid prototyping and less reluctance to trash yesterday’s interface code. (I said “should,” whether it will or not remains to be seen.)
Rather than a “full featured” topic map editor, how would you divide the task of authoring a topic map into pieces?
I first saw this in Christophe Lalanne’s A bag of tweets / November 2012.
