I=E2=80=99d like to try to rebuild Bitcoin Core GUI using the JavaScript El=
ectron
framework. My goal is to get a real world understanding of the pros and
cons of moving from Qt to Electron.
Before I start, I=E2=80=98d like to know if this has been tried before or i=
f there
are ongoing efforts in this direction by anyone?
I spent sometime looking into how to implement this. One approach could be
for Electron to drive the UI by running bitcoind and communicating with it
through RPC. But I don=E2=80=99t know if such implementation can achieve
feature-parity with the Qt implementation. Qt has the advantage of direct
access to Bitcoin Core code.
Anyways, I just wanted to share these ideas before going further with them,
so please let me know if you have any information on the above!
