I need to create a very simple desktop software application, but I just can't find the right tool to get the job done...
Here's the idea:
1. Basically, I want to create an ebook (text/graphic presentation) that also allows the user to fill out various forms with their details.
2. The information entered should be saved on their computer so it's available the next time they run the software. And the info entered should be available to the software (as variables that can be used anywhere inside the presentation.)
Does anyone know the best/easiest way to do this? I've been looking for a long time, but I'm completely stuck:
- Creating the interface/presentation in html seems like a good idea (easy to design) - but then I don't know how to save the user data on their computer or reuse it inside the presentation.
- The other option would be to use a more complicated programming language, but that really feels like overkill as it "should" be very simple to do. However, I still haven't found a solution that makes it easy.
I just need an easy way to present info in a nice interface, letting the user enter text where needed. These user details should be saved for future use, and also be dynamically used inside the presentation text.
It sounds very simple - but finding an easy way to do it is surprisingly hard. Does anyone have any ideas for what tool to use?
Thanks guys!
