Is anyone working on a Haxe NME application that is not a game? Games are great, and a focus on games is part of the reason NME performs so well, but they generally only require a subset of what the framework can do.

I personally come from the world of e-learning. If you are either looking at or actively using Haxe for a non-game application of any sort, I'd love to hear about it!

Cheers,
Patrick

Re: Non-game Applications?

I'd like to develop NME non game applications but right now I'm afraid it's not possible due to the lack of UI native access, implementing my own list, buttons and menus is always going to look weird for these applications. Haxe aswing is useful but is very far away of what I need, of course going the FLEX way we could provide a full set of UI but no matter what is going to look alien for many people.
NME has database support but I have never tried this by and web connectivity is also important and seems to be working accordingly to some posts.
Are you planning to work in this?

Best regards

Re: Non-game Applications?

I am currently building a "media framework" which can be used for e-books or interactive tours. I will post code on GitHub once I think anyone will find it useful.
