Fascinating technology - it's good to see good ol' Swing and Graphics2D being used to target browsers in the same way React Native has gone the other way and allowed swapping the DOM renderer for a native renderer. I have a couple of questions, though. What is the pricing strategy? (Programmers who'd use it will grumble that its not FOSS, then those same programmers will grumble when the maintainers quit maintaining it. I suggest ignoring the grumbling entirely.) It's also a bit awkward in that my sense is that most (enterprise) UI programming is done with web tech, and has been for at least 10 years. Where are these Swing programmers going to come from?!
Is this using canvas graphics? I don't think I've ever seen that before for a modern web app. Reminds me of the Mac OS 9 in the browser demo. Can we get SnapCode running in there?
Very cool! FYI the jar download link on your website is 404ing currently: https://reportmill.com/SnapCode/app/SnapCodeAll-2023.11.jar
IDE in the browser is the future, similar to how people no longer install Microsoft Excel and instead use Google spreadsheet. Github codespaces, replit, hony.ai ... will replace installing VScode.
This is cool! I assume I'm daft and just didn't look hard enough, but what is your privacy/data policy?
My apologies to FireFox users - it quickly hits an exception. Will fix today if I can, but still fine on Chrome and Safari in the meantime.
