Triplex Web using The File System Access API
i assume triplex is an electron app so a web app should be possible thanks to The File System Access API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API
Hi! Yeah exactly it's all web tech so it's not a far cry away from being usable inside a standalone website. Right now the next environment Triplex will be available in will be VS Code (join Discord and ask for access if you want to try it early), but this is definitely on the radar for the future.
I've previously spiked how this could work as a fully fledged editor in just the browser, there's some technical hurdles to get over especially when it comes to file system watchers. Perhaps if we were to spend time on this it'd have to be a cut back version.
No worries, what were you hoping to get out of it being used directly in the browser? Vs. it being a standalone app and available as a VS Code extension. Any added context is greatly appreciated 🙏
A big reason is security as i can control exactly what the app can access via browser permissions.
Another reason is the ability to use the app on machines that block the installation of third party apps such as company computers.
I'm going to close this for now to keep the issue count low but this is something I'm interested in exploring to supersede Triplex Standalone.
