Title: Type of NEM Client Post by: Jaguar0625 on February 04, 2014, 04:14:43 AM Should NEM have
(1) A web wallet like NXT (2) A GUI wallet like Bitcoin Please comment for any other types of wallets. Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: ashapasa on February 04, 2014, 05:49:09 AM its really no contest. You want the masses, please please go with bitcoin type client. I am an average user with limited computer skills and and most people are probably like me.
Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: wakasaki808 on February 04, 2014, 05:50:05 AM Give NEM a GUI like Bitcoin or Multibit :)

Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: norti on February 04, 2014, 07:01:12 AM For someone who is not an expert on details it would be nice to sum up some comparsions for the different client options in the initial post.
What about a lightweight local client like DUB which has recently be released for digitalcoin? Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: dwma on February 04, 2014, 07:15:55 AM I think people prefer the typical compiled binary. A web thing is fine and all but the installation was a mess with Java. I'm not sure there is much compatibility benefit outside of being easily portable to android. Really it isn't a question. I doubt many people even NXT users prefer the web interface. I like it, but it took a bit to get working. I'd also be afraid that it opens up more security issues being inside your web-browser + java based. If you are going to make a native client, make it look like copperlark or megacoin wallets. Not all gray and generic looking. The other problem is it is a bit weird for people to run a server and then use their webbrowser to access it. That is a pretty big leap for a computer newbie. Even I had problems when I already had it running. I just happen to know what the errors meant from being a dev. Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: patmast3r on February 04, 2014, 07:36:15 AM I voted for GUI but I'm very comfortable using a webbased client as well. I just think people are more comfortable using "desktop" guis that why I voted for GUI.
However If we're going to have a GUI client it needs to be awesome. The worst about new coins is always that hidous qt-wallet :) Haven't done much GUI in Java but I might whip up a python client if I find the time :) Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: sfinder on February 04, 2014, 08:00:11 AM better to be a thin client and need to port to smartphone (android / IOS /chrome app).
thanks Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: erkki12 on February 04, 2014, 01:39:10 PM If there is a choice to be made we must go for the GUI-app!
It will gather a much bigger audience that the NXT localhost web-client! We shouldn't even consider a similar client than NXT. Easy-to-use GUI-app that will attract the masses of crypto users!! Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: Thies1965 on March 10, 2014, 05:27:47 PM Independent from the technology underneath the client, it will be an easily installable client.
So either WebGUI or Java-GUI will be installed on the client through a simple install procedure. That will be our target for the NEM client. Source code which has to be compiled by the user is not a targeted solution. Simple, easy, simple and easy resulting in an intuitive usable client for NEM. That should be our target line. I slightly favor a webGUI since it has more flexibility in UX design than a 'platform'-specific GUI (Qt, Java SWT or .NET). Title: Re: Type of NEM Client Post by: freigeist on March 10, 2014, 07:28:09 PM I voted for a web interface but I think it should be something in between.
I' m in favor for web GUI as it can be extended easelly using CSS JS and HTML and additional modules(pages) with different functionality can be added in a fast way. Also the design can be stiled with css to resemble a QT or native look and feel. There is no need for a user to use a browser to open the web gui as it can be implemented in a native or java HTML component. |
