Okay so there is this cool photo website that has awesome photo effects okay...

So I'm Thinking of saving the websites info right click and save as html etc file.

And I wanted to use those same effects trying to build a software out of It.
Cause what If the website shuts down and no one In the world can find those awesome effects.

So Info I save aka CRTL And S saving the web page complete help me build this kind of desktop software application? for me only and not sharing It with any one cause I don't wanna get In trouble for sharing something that Is not Mine.

I'm thinking of designing apps for me only and using them for my "self" cause i don't have the time to read the law and rights stuff I'm a busy person.

Anyway lets get back to the topic, so when I saved the webpage It shows some files

JGZ FILES
GIF IMAGES
CGZ FILES
JSCRIPT SCRIPT FILE
PNG IMAGE

How would this Information help me build the app I want?
Plus How Would I make this kind of application using what?

Practical, focused notes for turning a saved web photo editor (the site mentioned by ) into a personal desktop tool, expanding on points raised by .

First confirm what the saved files actually contain. A saved page can include client-side markup, styles and scripts, but core image processing is often performed on a server. A useful offline check is to load the saved files with the network disconnected: effects that still run are client‑side; ones that fail usually call server APIs. Browser developer tools reveal network requests and console errors; minified scripts can be pretty‑printed in an editor to inspect how effects are implemented.

Two practical routes follow from that test. If the editor is purely client‑side, the fastest path is to keep the web code and run it inside a desktop webview shell so the interface and effects are preserved. If server‑side processing or licensing is involved, the other path is reimplementing the visible algorithms using image‑processing libraries for the chosen platform — heavier work but more portable and controllable. For learning and efficiency, pick a single platform and packaging approach and prototype a minimal workflow rather than trying to master many languages at once.

Legal and maintenance notes: copying site assets or server code may be subject to copyright and the site’s terms; permission or use of open‑source alternatives is the safer course if anything beyond private use is intended. Practical next steps: verify client vs server behavior offline, inspect which scripts implement the effects, decide wrap vs reimplement, then build a small prototype. Those steps give a clear roadmap for preserving interesting effects while keeping the project manageable and respectful of the original site’s rights.

Do you have any experience with software developement and/or programming languages?

Member Avatar for Member #956681

No i would like to learn.

thats why i asked i want a book to learn.

Ok, i got it now.

The easist way is to transform the saved page you have into a new website. You don't have to host it, as far as the website contain only HTML, CSS, JS and VBS you can run it directly in the browser.

To ajust the websit interface you would need knowlodge in:

  • HTML
  • JavaScript ou VBScript
  • CSS

But you could also create a new app, and in this case you would need to choose a language to program and a framework to build the app on. At the top of my mind I can name you:

  • C# .Net
  • JAVA
  • Ruby On Rails
  • Delphi

C# .Net
JAVA
Ruby On Rails
Delphi

I have to master all those 4 languages?

Member Avatar for Member #956681

Also i need to master? these to create a application of the website?

i don't wanna run it in the broswer i want to re create what the web has and make it into a app for me

HTML
JavaScript ou VBScript
CSS

Member Avatar for AleMonteiro

No, if you want to create a desktop app you need to master just one of them(C#, JAVA, ROR or Delphi).

But be aware, none of the code of the website would be reutilized. So you better study the effects that you want to use to see what language and framework would do it more easily.

thanks

(C#, JAVA, ROR or Delphi).

Member Avatar for AleMonteiro

If you post the website that you are trying to replicate I can tell you a good language to do it.

Do you want to build a photo editor? Is that right?

Member Avatar for Member #956681

Yup lol also other applications i wannt build.

Member Avatar for AleMonteiro

Well, I never done something like that, but to build the interface I would suggest Microsoft .NET WPF.

But if I would do it, I would do it in HTML/JS/CSS.
