Can I run Atom-core on top of Atom-shell like any other app?

---

There are builds for atom-shell for Windows and it gives you something that looks like this: http://imgur.com/H0RcGc5

I haven't understood what you're supposed to do with it yet (I thought it was just a library).

OT: Fullscreen and windowing is nicer in Windows... In OSX (@home) everything feels sluggish with the overflow of animations...



Atom Shell is a runtime environment that you can write your own Node-in-a-web-browser apps against, yeah. Atom-shell is the C++y bits to provide some of the APIs that are available in JS.

The docs for Atom Shell are pretty good, have a look at https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/tree/master/docs to get started


Thanks for the explanation. What is not clear to me is if Atom editor is just an app that runs on top of Atom shell.
