Jade Application Kit

Official site: https://github.com/vmnlopes/jak
Official documentation: Work in progress!

Introduction

This is a DEV Preview not fully finish but it works!

JAK is an application build in Python 3 on top of GTK3, Pygoject and Webkit2. You can write hybrid Web and Desktop applications on top of a webview, including but not limited to DOCKS, Widgets, or any other sort of apps, . This works same way as Node Webkit or Electron with a few diferences.

Faqs

Wy was this build we already have software that does that?
Other available software did not fullfill my needs. This was build out of my desire of learning python, since i love the syntax and i am building some applications with python and HTML and got fed up off building webviews over and over!
Does this comes with a server?
NO, you dont need a server to build a HTML5, Javascript, CSS3 Application.
But if you require one, you can use any server you like or even build your own!
Do i need to know Python?
NO!
Is this cross platform?
This works on Linux, but there is Python Gobject for Windows and MacOx. I have not tested on the lastest 2 since am only trageting Linux for now, it should work!
Does it work with PyPy
Perhaps! there is a version of PyGobject for PyPy, but that was not tested.

Features

Use HTML5, CSS3 or Webgl.
