I was thinking of adding a remote FreePascal service along the following
lines. You go to its web interface, browse for your source files
(possibly a whole zip archive) on your local machine, enter command-line
options, and let our server compile your stuff with a (selectable)
version of fpc (under Linux), then you get back the results (possibly
also in a zip archive). Mabye we can support cross compiles as well.
I think this is a great idea.
It takes FPC beyond open source --to being fully open access.
One could, then do coding on a dummy terminal in a hotel room or wherever
without having to carry around a laptop etc. Awesome, IMHO.
Why do this? Because that way people can use/try FreePascal without
installing anything.
This too.
Here are some questions:
1. Do you think this service would be useful?
Definitely. See above.
2. Do you think the interface described above is good enough?
Suggestions for refinements would be appreciated.
One thing I would love to have is t have an account and keep my source
files etc there, which would save us both fom the uploading the sources
all the time. And, a simple browser-based source editor maybe :-)
4. Whatever else comes to your mind ...
AJAX based IDE? :-)
