Aside for that lengthy announcement and beta release of the new website.. ?

 

No announcements show on this site since August. Where are the things you are referring to posted?

Been waiting on this sale! Oh and BTW they have Morrowwind on sale also (looking to Skywind...) and if you are into it, CIV IV is also DMR free and can work on Windows 10 (per the system requirements). I had to chuck my old CIV IV cause I could not get past the Disc DMR set up (windows 10 does not support the type of DMR that was used back then)... On the bright side they will refund me my purchase price if it will not work...

Ah, hadn't seen that actually. I was more referring to no more mods of the week.

Still were you guys really aware of the decision made? Electron ships with a chrome VM. So for each electron app that you have on a desktop, you have installed chrome's engine too, despite the fact that you have already a chrome browser. It's not a secret that chrome eats up your resources (especially when managing memory). I certainly don't want this on my PC.

I wished that you have considered to stay at C# like the old NMM (even if that software program is not designed correctly). I have also seen the requirements. Especially the "bonus skills" section. The management has to consider if they're not picking too many technologies. Really, for server side only: Node.js + Rails + PHP. Or is node.js used for some client site tooling? I would really say "Really?" if that's the situation.

For the client technology we've considered many different technologies, not just electron and c#. Electron ended up to be the best trade-off for what we wanted to achieve. We of course considered staying with c# but decided against it, it was not a decision made on a whim.

I don't quite get your argument about: "Why use a the chrome vm when you could use the .net vm bundled with Windows?".
With that very same logic you'd have to ask "Why use chrome when you could use internet explorer bundled with Windows?".

The answer is the same for both questions: Because it's better and worth a couple mb of download.
Well, actually, I'm not going to claim electron is superior to .net in general, but for a UI heavy application at this time it is, in my opinion.

Edit: this was meant to be a reply to the telecommute question asked by a CS major in Germany. Not sure why it posted it on this reply.

slack, atom, visual studio code, twitch, discord

now you're saying yo won't let another chrome get installed in your system :P

No offense, but I'm surprised that a mod manager is considered as UI heavy.

You can have the best of both worlds, C# and nodejs, take a look at edgejs. Also why not make a github for vortex, that way everyone could contribute.

Closing this comment thread now as we've filled the position and we're busy at work on Vortex :)
