# 💻 Desktop
**Stencila on your desktop**
## ⚠️ Deprecated
This project is deprecated and no longer maintained. Please see, our main repository, [`stencila/stencila`](https://github.com/stencila/stencila), for other projects that provide similar or alternative functionality.
## 👋 Introduction
[Stencila](https://stenci.la) is a platform for reproducible research. One of our aims is to provide intuitive, familiar, visual interfaces for researcher to do reproducible research within. To lower the barriers to entry.
This is the desktop deployment of our web-based "reproducible office suite" with interfaces for editing both textual and spreadsheet documents.
## 🎥 Demo
The above example documents are bundled in the app. See the introductory video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzrR96PDnO8) and other example documents [here](http://builds.stenci.la/stencila/update-the-introduction-rds-example-2018-11-19-db47651/).
## 🚨 Warning
You should only open documents that you trust using Stencila Desktop. Articles and spreadsheets can contain Javascript, Python, and/or R code that will run on your machine. Furthermore, this version on Stencila Desktop uses an old version of Electron which has a [critical vulnerability](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/web-preferences-fix) which may allow remote code execution.
