Guifications Daemon Web

The point of this page is to list the pros and cons of leaving gfd-web a plugin as compared to just putting it's behavior in gfd.

Pros

  • Easier for gfd plugins to add pages to the web interface
  • Always have a way to configure gfd
  • Forces completion of local connections
    • makes writing other gfd plugins worthwhile
    • also a con, more work

Cons

  • Lose modularity
  • Adds to gfd's resident size
  • Possible security issues (connection plugins do present the same issue)
  • Forces completion of local connections
    • could be plagued by the same issues as normal connections (debugging them sucks)
    • also a pro, opens more possibilities
