Just a thought have you tried running the IDE in NodeWebkit as a standalone IDE. Or are you using Chrome specific features that are not in NodeWebkit?

Well, a few Chrome specific features are used, but they're not required. For instance http://github.com/espruino/EspruinoOrion uses most of the IDE code, and works in most browsers.

It was definitely something I was looking at, and I don't think it should be too hard. If someone wanted to take it on it would be great though - it'd be really neat to have a self-contained executable IDE.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
