Akasha Web/eBook Builder

[robogeek]

A simple Electron application. It reads from package.json the available scripts. By default build, watch, preview, are recognized, and buttons generated for each.

As a user, I can assign buttons (customize the set of buttons), where each button corresponds to one script.

The buttons also need a type perhaps. For example a build button needs a console.log viewer - maybe they all need that.

A preview button can be built-in -- it watches the output directory, and reloads the current window if its file changes. A dropdown button selects a delay to avoid excessive reloads for a file that changes rapidly.

Another built-in is to browse the filesystem for each asset, documents, layouts and partials. Do not implement editing in the browser. Instead - if there's a way to connect an "Edit" choice to causing Visual Studio Code to edit the file...? Or to cause VSC to open the project directory.

Develop an open source app for this -- as it is developed, write a series of articles documenting the process. Possibly create a book from the result.

Two versions of the app -- a) websites b) EPUB
