- Build your graphical user interface on top with node webkit (NWJS), which simply controls your compiled cli tool and returns the output. As well as making the api calls to your server. That way, the end-user won't even need to have his own server or has to install any dependencies. Pretty much an out of the box working solution.
Very creative!

Just doing the proof of concept on that would be fun.

For phase one, I will focus on the php, and know that there are options to wrap it all up.

The nature of this application is strictly text processing - no db access required.

I am hoping that SourceGuardian encrypts the plain text data as well, as it will constitute 50% of the value of the IP.

Thanks for your suggestion.
