Potential challenges

  • Running GUI apps within Docker container on both Linux and Mac host (http://fabiorehm.com/blog/2014/09/11/running-gui-apps-with-docker/)
  • Making switch available to users with minimum hassle
    • Shouldn't use Ruby as setting Ruby in itself can be complicated
    • Shouldn't use Perl as managing dependencies can be complicated. And I don't know enough Perl. And I think Perl code is very readable and manageable.
    • Compiled language could be used. For instance, Go. So that we can just distribute pre-compiled binaries.
    • Maybe NodeJS can be used (I don't remember Kitematic asking to install NodeJS first - unless developing)
