neoEdge vs NW.js ?
Quote from susan on January 19, 2022, 7:31 amThinking out loud about neoEdge vs NW.js
neoEdge Positives
- Well integrated with IDE for an easy edit, run and repeat cycle
- Can use VisualNEO Win code for OS interaction
- Tiny sized distribution files
neoEdge Negatives
- Windows only
- Requires purchase of an additional plugin for full customisation
- Needs user to install MS WebView2
NW.js Positives
- Cross Platform
- Huge community
NW.js Negatives
- Not integrated with IDE
- Requires learning Node.js for OS interaction
- Large environment distributed and duplicated for every app
If being cross platform is essential, then NW.js is the solution, but if you need Windows only the answer is less clear.
Any other thoughts, or other +ve and -ve that have been missed?

Note that you can integrate NWjs with the IDE using the Tools menu.
It's also possible to make VisualNEO Web plugins targeting Node.js functionalities.Thank you!

Because of the nw.js folder structure and the fact that they share identical package.json you can run basically same app so you get benefits of both. Anyway you have many options to build your final app using for example _run and _runInRectangle .
When you combine here the possibility to use neoCMS, third party php software, visualNEO vin database access and other plugins you have a soup to mix long time.
