Will this ever be supported on ChromeOS? about carlo

[jamesopstad]

I actually presumed that ChromeOS support was one of the motivations for Carlo before seeing this. It seems wasteful that Electron apps running in Crostini are using a separate Chromium build when the whole OS is built around Chrome. If Carlo could bridge the gap between ChromeOS and Node running inside the Crostini VM then that seems like a really promising way to bring more complex apps to ChromeOS.

That was my exact thought when I saw this video https://youtu.be/QTmAtXoPkgw?t=535.

Carlo is a framework for Node that provides is with rendering capabilities. As there is no Node on ChromeOS, it can't run there.

So, not gonna work with Crostini?

[pavelfeldman]

Hm, good question. Technically, we should be able to make it work with Crostini. All we need is a VM that runs Node there. Might require minor modifications to CrOS to reuse CrOS web content.

Sorry for asking naively; I don't know how puppeteer works.

Maybe another little program could proxy to the native Chrome?
