Re: pgadmin4 - Use classic style interface, don't launch browser?

Hey,

Here's some unofficial input on the topic.

This request baffles me for two reasons.

a. Why does one need a standalone window when they can have pgAdmin open in
a tab while multi-tasking. Is there ever a time when the web browser is
closed while using a pc in 2019? If you lose tabs you can pin the tab and
it will always be on the left side.
b. If you want it to run in it's own window, you can drag and pull the tab
to it's own standalone window.

If that doesn't solve your problem,

You can try Nativefier but you might need to launch pgAdmin on the same
port each time. It basically wraps any web site in an electron app.
Electron fyi allows developing desktop apps using web technologies. It's
based on chromium and nodejs and renders web apps just like google chrome
would. https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier

Or if you are a javascript developer you can write an electron app yourself
to encapsulate and extend upon the current functionality.
https://electronjs.org/

Personally, I find it convenient to have it as a tab while reading docs and
other stuff and often prefer it to switching to my IDE.

Once again, this is unofficial. I'm not part of the team.

Regards,
Avin
