Capricorn on Linux
February 17th, 2008 andrewOur initial cross platform porting efforts were directed at OSX, but given its heritage we knew that linux would be close. It was quite easy in fact in the end and was running within a few hours. The yahoo user interface toolkit has been chosen for the UI and its certainly impressive. As capricorn is mainly a client for secure messaging it doesn’t not need much of a UI, but much could be done in a browser when combined with JSON and rest methods. Pictured is a form to send simple secure clinical messages directly from Firefox. Its useful to send quick notes but usually capricorn would integrate directly with other software.
