Uses "web app" technology via Python, pywebview, Ace Code Editor API
CodeScriber uses the "Ace" Code Editor - a Javascript library.
For detailed information about "Ace" visit the Ace website
- The entire application runs locally on the user's machine, which is great for privacy and performance.
- External dependencies include the Ace library loaded from cdnjs.cloudflare.com and an AI feature that requires an Internet connection.
- The application is primarily implemented in scripting languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python3, making it flexible and easy to modify.
- The editor component is implemented as a Python script that uses the pywebview module to communicate with a JavaScript-based GUI (leveraging the Gtk WebKit2 engine on Linux and edgechromium on Windows). This design effectively bridges the gap between native host capabilities and a modern web-based interface.
See https://ace.c9.io for information on the Ace Code Editor.
