It may have been asked before but is there any technical reason why Templot couldn't be a browser based, platform agnostic, program? |

Wouldn't this require a web based server with associated costs? Wouldn't this increase support requirements? Just a few thoughts  |

It very well might. The question was just to see if the subject had been raised. It came to mind after seeing some online CAD solutions. | ||

But writing for the web is hard work because everything is done at arm's length through the web browser or mobile app. And not all browsers are equal. Or devices -- folks use apps on mobile phones, tablets, desktop computers, TV, and no doubt many more in the future. The whole thing is a minefield. It won't be me doing it, I have plenty to get on with on Templot as it stands. But most of the Templot code, including all the maths stuff, is available open-source: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentemplot/ So if someone wants to re-write it for the web, they can. How about you?  cheers, Martin. |

Funny you should say that... I'd like to have a go. Perhaps it's something that could be developed in tandem with the open source version? | ||

Do you want to see the T3 topics? See: topic 3539 cheers, Martin. |
