I’ve written and spoken a bit about how ZX makes it easy to create, distribute and launch templated GUI projects in Erlang. I also showed how the (still ugly) GUI program launcher Vapor can make it easy for non-technical desktop users to use those programs.
So far I’ve been doing my examples on Linux where everything works in a familiar way and the terrain is fairly well known to us as developers, so in this video I want to show a bit about how things feel to Windows users who run client-side Erlang via Vapor using the standard Erlang runtime installation provided by Erlang Solutions and point out a few things that I find significant or can be improved in the experience.
If you have any insights into the issues highlighted in the video or have ideas about cross platform client development in general please let me know!
