Since my last blog entry I’ve worked a bit more on broadway, and the openshift-broadway cartridge for openshift.
New in this version:
- Bumped all modules to the final gnome 3.8 releases
- Chrome support (this used to work, but had regressed)
- Password protection for the broadway session (optional)
- Added a simple app launcher to the default session
- Added gedit, gnome-terminal and glade to build
- Made it work with https (using a terminating ssl proxy in openshift)
- General bugfixes and robustness
Here is a video of this:

This is fantastic!
I love it
Nice. To save on bandwidth, and latency, would it be possible to create a multi-platform gtk+ client which already has the gtk+ toolset embedded in it, and then have a lightweight protocol that controls it?
cool! still I don’t understand if this is going to be taken to its logical conclusion and make the whole desktop work through the browser.
That would be a competitive advantage of the gnome platform.
@Andrea R this is more for ISV to develop real life applications using Glib/Gtk+ stack, so it can be used basically everywhere, even on platforms using nothing but HTML5 capable browser. Kinda crossplatform promise of Java/C#, only more workable (for certain kind of applications, anyway).
