Show HN: WebShell – Bundle web apps to native OS X app

Hi, I am Randy, the author of WebShell.<p>I think a lot of web app need to be an native app more than a browser tab. And they were all responsive enough to be contained in a WebView. But repeating making new projects for each web app was frustrated. This is the reason why I make WebShell. It can help you make the web app you like to be a native OS X app.<p>Another frustrating thing for me is I did not even know how Cocoa framework works and did not know how to write OS X application. I learn swift-lang and learn about the concepts of Cocoa two days and then made WebShell. So I hope that everyone can make web app to be native app even though you are not (Cocoa) developer. The thing you need is only an Xcode.<p>I build the first WebShell-based app for JS Bin. You could have a glance of it performance. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;djyde&#x2F;WebShell&#x2F;releases&#x2F;download&#x2F;untagged-26c400bf436fb0f55e9b&#x2F;JSBin.zip" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;djyde&#x2F;WebShell&#x2F;releases&#x2F;download&#x2F;untagged...</a>

I was a huge user of single site browsers... when I was on OSX.<p>Now I miss them, but I just couldn&#x27;t live with the random crashing.<p>Are there any good SSB tools for Linux, or even better, for FreeBSD, as someone else mentioned, Electron just does not cut it at all for this. SSB and the Omni Group software are the only things I really miss from OSX :-&#x2F;

Cool, reminds me of fluid. I&#x27;ve been looking for a new web app packager since fluid stopped working w&#x2F; google docs.
