Convert any website to a native Windows/Linux/Mac/Chrome application.
Super cool and easy to use. I’m using this to “install” a version of my app. Make sure you tweak your app version so it doesn’t feel like a website opened in a wrapper. (which is exactly what it is.)
Hope someone enjoys this or finds it useful.
Uploaded an example of the ToDo app as a Chrome App.
@nomadkelley - Do you know of any boilerplates for a desktop app (similiar to photon kit)? It would be nice to replace my web app’s slider menu with a native sidebar.
A little late (just recently joined the Bubble forums) Anyway I’m the developer of WebDGap. It has been updated several times since this post. Is this problem still persistent? If so anyway you can share the source code that way I can properly debug the problem?
Nice I didn’t know about Photonkit! NOTE: The reason why WebDGap uses nwjs and not Electron is because electron runs ONLY on 64bit processors. I wanted my application to be cross-platform while still supporting 32bit processors and still giving you desktop notifications as well.
I like Electron but you have to adapt your code to run with it. Majority of the time your regular web app will run right out of the box with nwjs.
@mikethedj4 I like your initiative, but it seems to not work properly with the ones I tested, a little buggy like @supernaturally stated.
I recommend Electron - using nativefier. Ive built multiple bubble apps using it, even Im using it with some custom JS and CSS for a desktop version of the bubble builder.
To built for 32 bit make sure you use the following parameter when compiling " --target_arch=ia32"
Hi, I just created an app on Bubble, I’m not very sure which URL is the apps URL, I copied the URL of the preview mode on live view with debug set to false. WebDgap generated a zip file, but upon extraction the nw.exe just shows NW.JS. I use windows not mac, so I’m not sure if I missed a step since your tutorial is tailored for mac. I pasted the URL, it generated the zip file and I extracted it. Is there anything I missed? Perhaps the URL I chose was wrong, but I’m not very sure where the app URL is, as couldnt really find a launch option, the closes being preview in live mode. Thank you.
