Hi all. I'd like to get more into coding with JS an Sync, but I have someq uestions. For starters I've been reading LOTS about node.js, so will this work with Sync? There are some great tutorials out there with node.js, so justãcurious. Can JS with sync interact with the services? I'd love to write some add-ins that consume API services from other sites, but i'm not sure what options are there. And what about OS operations like modifying files, usrs,ãprocesses, etc... this will be on Linux. And is there any MySQL support?ããSorry for so many questions. I've started reading through javascript in Sync to see how things work, but I've not seen much with the features i'd like to work into doors.ããthanks for any feedback or suggestions on a starting point.ããSamã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
