vodon-pro VS quickjs

I'm the author of a free open source video player project called "Vodon Pro", it's written using Electron. You can see the functionality of it here: https://vodon.gg/ (source here: https://github.com/Rodeoclash/vodon-pro)

You know I don't make any money off this right? You can download the entire app for free and the source code for it if you want (https://github.com/Rodeoclash/vodon-pro)

I have a video player designed for esports coaches to do gameplay reviews of matches that their team has played. It has the unique feature that you can synchronise multiple viewpoints from a match together. It's free and open source.

I've built it using Electron as an MVP but I'd like to rebuild the most successful features into a native app using gstreamer as a V2 version at some point.

I'm looking for help with reaching more esports teams that might be interested in using it, graphic design feedback (I've done it myself :/ ) and someone who has knowledge building native apps that I could bounce ideas off.

Vodon Pro can be downloaded, for free, from https://github.com/Rodeoclash/vodon-pro

I'm using the build of this app to evaluate rebuilding another app I have called Vodon Pro which is a synchronised video player for esports reviews (https://github.com/Rodeoclash/vodon-pro) into QT so the performance is better but also that I can leverage GStreamer using the QT sink here: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/qmlgl/?gi-language=c

If you're interested, you can download it here: https://github.com/Rodeoclash/vodon-pro

It uses service workers to cache static files, by the time it opens up you already free to be offline, try toggle network switch to verify.

It has download link at bottom of the about page ([accdoo.app/about]) which you could then self host it by dropping into any static hosting services.

btw, the Pi feature was by-product from the original App but I won't expand here, if you'd like to learn more, please checkout its two Show HN post (39115559 and 39138957) previously.

Just go with quickjs, I think this is what you are looking for.

QuickJS

I think QuickJS, written in C, is a user-"friendly" starting point for implementing ECMA-262. Documentation QuickJS Javascript Engine.

There is a readme on the project's main page: https://bellard.org/quickjs/

The newsworthy bit here is that the activity seemed to have stalled for year or two and now Fabrice pushed a few fixes and made a new release.

Just to demonstrate GitHub repositories do not necessarily reflect upon a programmers' body of work, Fabrice Bellard has one (1) repository published on GitHub, quickjs. Compare the list of work on Bellard's home page https://bellard.org/.

> I am still confused, it's a JavaScript runtime intended to be deployed to JavaScript/Wasm runtimes?

Seemingly.

> Why does a JavaScript runtime need a JavaScript runtime?

Because if you want to create a Service Worker server for CloudFlare Workers and other JavaScript/Wasm runtimes, that's the only option for doing that AFAIK.

FWIW, this isn't a new idea. For example, Figma uses QuickJS (https://bellard.org/quickjs/) for their plug-in runtime: https://www.figma.com/blog/an-update-on-plugin-security/
