Watch the screencast at:

This is what happens when I'm bored. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about that project.

Built with:

• node-webkit: http://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit
• Angular.js: http://angularjs.org
• PureCSS: http://purecss.io

and some npm modules.

Definitely looks really nice from what I saw on the screencast :) Will try to test it as soon as possible!

I bookmarked Pure when it was announced, glad to see you put it to good use :D I'm looking forward to use it on a project, the layouts are simply beautiful.

If you need some good introductions to using Pure, there is an article at webdesign.tutsplus.com:

This is awesome. Just the thing I have been looking for.
I was thinking about building something like that when I saw the MacGap code: https://github.com/maccman/macgap

So yes, please do make this public. I'd love to use it.

I have downloaded and tried the demo, great job! Some links are not working though.

Thanks.

The screencast was just a proof of concept.

I am currently rewriting the application from scratch, Because originally it wasn’t intended for public use.

Cool, looking forward to the new release.

Looks pretty nice. Is it open source?

sbruchmann 3950 days ago. link 3 points ▲ ▼

Not yet, but I will publish the source on GitHub as soon as possible.

At the moment, the code for EchoJS Desktop is a terrible nightmare of code and I am not willing to show it to anyone in fear of losing my reputation.

Stay tuned! ;)

Mac only?

No, node-webkit is cross platform, so the app will be available for Linux, Windows and OS X.
