Greetings, Sakari here, lead developer of OmniGeometry. For the past three months, I’ve been working part time on developing the standalone, downloadable version of OmniGeometry.
I’m happy to say that much progress has been happening. I have been utilizing the Electron framework to be able to package the existing online version of OmniGeometry as a downloadable cross-platform desktop application. Much time has been spent in figuring out how to implement licensing for the application, and how to make the application feel as native as possible.
Progress update video
In this video I shortly demonstrate the downloadable version, and talk a bit about our plans for release and future projects also.
Projected release schedule
The original predicted schedule to release until end of the year 2019 doesn’t seem realistic, but hopefully we will have a testable beta version very soon, to be able to get this out to early testers and get feedback to build the high quality experience we are aiming for.
I am projecting a working first version somewhere between January and February 2020.
It’s not really simple just to take the currently running online version and directly package it as an Electron -application, much work has to be spent on fine tuning the details so that the application feels like an native desktop application.
Feel assured, the downloadable version is coming, we have heard your questions and are doing our best to make it happen 🙂 Will keep this blog updated on the progress!
