Qute crashes on Mac OS Mavericks

[kellertuer]

The idea of Qute sounds really nice, but I was not able to try it, because it does crash on startup on Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks. The error message is the following

Can you try to fix that? If you would like to have any more information, I'll be glad to help.

Hi Ronny,

this crash is due to Mozilla Chromeless, which Qute is based on. Unfortunately, Chromeless has been discontinued, so there is no easy fix of this problem.

Sorry,
Felix

Oh that's sad; I really would've liked to have a markdown/html + MathJax App

Well, I welcome any and all contributions to Qute! For example, porting Qute to node-webkit… ;)

Apart from this, there are a couple of alternatives to Qute:

1. Regarding math + markdown, the elephant in the room is Authorea: https://www.authorea.com/

2. A nice list of markdown tools (some with math support) is here: https://github.com/karthik/markdown_science/wiki/Tools-to-support-your-markdown-authoring

3. I have my hopes on the up-and-coming Substance platform: http://substance.io/

Cheers,
Felix
