New package for inclusion - meteor-desktop

[KoenLav]

Build desktop apps with Meteor & Electron. Full integration with hot code push implementation.

Current status of the project

• Abandoned?

Reasoning

This integration enables building desktop applications for Meteor, just like the Cordova integration enables building mobile applications.

The package combines pre-existing solutions for packaging Electron together with web frameworks. It is loosely coupled with Meteor, modular and well written, so it should be easy to maintain.

We are using this project in production on a large scale and are willing to put in the time to maintain this package. Judging from the open pull requests I think there will be others interested as well.

Progress

• Discussion finished

I really like the idea, but prefer to transfer this to core Meteor. 🤣
Let's postpone this till we have a better idea where Tiny plans to go with Meteor.

We are using this in a production app also and would be prepared to help out with this.

I am just looking into using Electron with Meteor, so this package being updated would be great. I will help out as much as I can. It would be nice to see what plans Tiny has in this area.

I also use meteor-desktop in production so would be happy to help maintain the package.

Seems @wojtkowiak has been vacant in the repository since January, while Electron is picking up the pace with breaking changes.

Just created this PR to fix an issue while running with Node.js 14: wojtkowiak/meteor-desktop#285

Maybe we should simply fork the repository, start working on it, and ask @wojtkowiak to transfer the npm package?

[KoenLav]

@StorytellerCZ could this be re-opened?

Maybe we should simply fork the repository, start working on it, and ask @wojtkowiak to transfer the npm package?

I think this should be fine.
