WebDGap

Easily create websites as multi-platform desktop apps!

Did you know?

WebDGap was the first application released on the web that allowed you to create multi-platform desktop applications in the browser.

Converting a Web Application to a native Desktop Application.

1. WebDGap requires you to add your application's name first.
2. Load your application's logo second.
3. Lastly load in your application's source encased in a zip file.

IMPORTANT!!! (your zip file must look something like this, when exporting it as a desktop/chrome application, or extension)

• index.html
• css/style.css
• js/jquery.js
• js/script.js

The zip example below WILL NOT WORK!!!

• AppName/index.html
• AppName/css/style.css
• AppName/js/jquery.js
• AppName/js/script.js

NOTE: Larger zip files take a longer time loading and exporting!

Version

1.2.5

Tech

WebDGap uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• Poly UI Kit - Used for the application's user interface
• jQuery - duh
• JSZip - package zip files in javascript
• node-webkit - run web apps as desktop apps
• AlertifyJS - For the awesome and stylish alert notification dialogs
