Web Desktop with Webix UI

A picture is worth a hundred words, and a nice live demo – even thousands. So don’t think – click on the image below and keep reading this article after watching the demo.

What is it

The demo above shows how the Web Desktop can be created on the base of Webix ui components. Such kind of shell can be used by remote user, providing them the desktop-like environment, where users can access the remote data and work with it. Users can launch inner apps, organize them on the screen, switch between them. All the same can be done with common desktop web apps. And it works in any browser ( even in IE8! )

Grow with Webix: Real Showcase from Rael Bauer

Hey everyone!

We continue publishing real showcases from our customers, which were made on Webix. Today we’d like to share an article about the RightNote, personal information manager program for Windows, provided by Rael Bauer.

“RightNote is an advanced personal information manager program for Windows. It allows you to store all bits and pieces of information in a single place and then you can access that information later. For example you can capture webpages, store source code snippets, JavaScript Spreadsheet, project notes etc.. all in a single place. More information can be found here: //www.bauerapps.com/rightnote/

Webix Showcase

 

We wanted to provide our users with a way to publish their knowledge bases to the web or to mobile devices, so that they could then access or present their information on these platforms.

This meant exporting the RightNote databases to a html/javascript format. We wanted to make sure that the output looked good and was also easy to use and navigate, hopefully providing some functionality similar to the desktop app. We also wanted the javascript to work straight from the file system, i.e. without requiring a server. (Many javascript libraries work fine on a server, but come to halt on filesystems).

Grow with Webix: Real Showcase from Michael Basin

Hey guys!

New week, new showcase from our customers. Today we are presenting a short, but colourful article from Michael Basin. The project, which was made on Webix, is called Blitz-Budget. So let’s start.

“I use JavaScript Pivot for mobile applications for financial accounting as a tool for generating reports. And I do it in an unusual way.

A smartphone is used as a web-server and Pivot is run on a PC as a client. Thus, users get a possibility to make reports on a desktop directly using data from the smartphone.

Blitz-Budget for Android – is the program for accounting and control of personal finance.

Import / Export in Webix 3.0

Web apps are dominating in the modern software development. Born as stateless pieces of HTML, they have evolved to dynamic and smart applications, still bound to the browser and the HTML markup. The next step of evolution is happening just now. A web app is moving beyond the boundaries of the browser. On the one hand, we already have desktop and mobile apps which, in fact, are wrapped web apps, on the other hand, web apps learn how to interact with desktop apps. In Webix 3.0 we have added a few new API to simplify such a client <-> desktop data interchange.

Data Export from a web app

With Webix 3.0, you have two very powerful data export commands. They are:
webix.toPNG($$("chart"))
webix.toExcel($$("datatable"));
export to png
Those commands allow exporting any Webix component to PNG or Excel. In the case of export to PNG, you can use API with any HTML content. Yes, you can export any HTML content on the page to a PNG image.
// export the whole page to an image
webix.toPNG(document.body);

Grow with Webix: Real Showcase from BNDC company

Bonjour everyone!

Another week, another cool showcase from our customers. Today we are glad to present an article from Bruno Denis from french company BNDC. The project, which was made on Webix, is called MyMetriks. So here you go.

MyMetriks is a simple and intuitive dashboarding platform. Build 100% HTML5 and nodejs, it gives to all users possibilities to create/customise the dashboards they really need. It is cheap, based on all latest technologies and really fast thanks to in-memory data cube management.

Dashboard Design

All operations are done via simple click or drag and drop, even dashboards creation. All the solutions are based on Webix framework. We have developped our own Nodejs ajax JSON adapter based on Webix proxy. The platform is fairly simple: nodejs, mysql, Webix and a specific columnar database for Business Intelligence performances.
