[Meta] Showcase a desktop app for visualising the bioscientific data #4

Description

@armiol

In scope of this issue, a desktop application should be created, in order to demonstrate how to build complex UI with HTML/CSS/JS, render it with JxBrowser, but access the locally available data files.

This is a draft of a meta-issue. More details will be added soon.

Ideas

  • Pick something publicly available, for instance, a mass-spectrometer data file in a public domain.
  • Visualise its data as a heat map (colored table cells). There will be millions of rows, and some columns.
  • Display a "legend-preview" frame next to the heat map, designed for quick navigation.
  • Quickly fetch some meta-data upon clicking on a cell.
  • Allow opening other files of the same kind.

Tech stuff

  • Latest JxBrowser,
  • Swing or JavaFx (we want to attract those who is still on that tech stack; scientific software is not updated quickly),
  • Java-JS bridge.

Selling point

  • In order to achieve the same with JavaFx or Swing table components, much more effort (and skill) is needed.
