[Sugar-devel] Sugar On Broadway?

[Dave Crossland]

Hi

I wonder if anyone has tried running Sugar under broadway?

If you haven't heard of broadway, its a part of the GTK+3 project that
allows interacting with GTK+3 applications through a browser, using
VNC-style techniques. It seems this might be an interesting alternative to
Sugarizer for making 'instant' Sugar demos.

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-broadway.html

While https://github.com/GNOME/gtk/tree/master/gdk/broadway shows it is
kept working, I can find little recent information about it.

The broadway lead developer's related github repos haven't been updated in
a few years - https://github.com/search?q=user%3Aalexlarsson+broadway - and
I found these videos from 3 years ago...

I found a new nice related things too...

- http://worldofgnome.org/running-gtk-apps-on-web-with-node-broadway/ is
great documentation on how to get it set up

-
http://stefanoprenna.com/blog/2016/02/06/tutorial-stream-gtk-applications-and-use-them-in-your-browser-with-gtk-and-broadway/
is also a good guide - and recent - and relevant to Sugar, has it working
on a $9 computer! :D

- http://webos.symbiose.fr.cr seems like a live demo of broadway, gedit is
there - but https://github.com/symbiose/symbiose says its not maintained :(
But...

- .... https://os.js.org (https://github.com/os-js/OS.js) seems like a nice
'desktop' wrapper for broadway packaged applications, and mentions this in
its docs, although its demo has none (that I could tell) and the lead
developer of symbiose has recently posted in the Broadway issue,
https://github.com/os-js/OS.js/issues/29 and there's a demo video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0QLC9Sx-BA
