On: PHP Cross-Platform Desktop GUI Framework

[lepunk]

It is nice and everything, but don't really see the point. By the look of it is just a webview + a server running on localhost:8000.

Much rather prefer using node-webkit for this kind of desktop app (note: PHP is my go-to language)

Isn't node-webkit basically the same thing? If php is your goto language, why not use this?

[lepunk → fredsted]

node-webkit lets me fiddle with the chrome + i have the ability to install packages with npm.

I can see this being used in internal systems (to replace command line commands for non-technical colleges) but can't see the value in actual end user products

Because people love to shit on whatever they can

not to mention that the webview this one uses on windows is MSIE 7.0 which is less than ideal for front-end development
