Standalone in browser?
Feb 15 2018 | 7:34 pm
I've searched the forum, but no simple solution has come up for porting a standalone Max app to a browser. Is this possible to do with Max?
Ie, If one has a standalone app, is there any way to host the app in a browser? I sense it's possible, but with a lot of jiggering & workarounds.
I've looked into the xebra.js library, which is great but has a ways to go. It seems that Max could not be too far from a legit web dev environment, considering its integration with JS, great graphical features, etc etc. Is this something that may be in the pipelines by chance? Ideally devs could 'export' to a defined server, as one exports to standalone app.
