+Chromium flicker issue
+----------------------
+
+This appears to be GPU related.
+
+package.json:
+	"chromium-args": "--disable-gpu-compositing",
+
+This will fix the issue temporarily, but still need a better solution.
+
+
+
+Remote debugging via DevTools
+-----------------------------
+
+Set this in package.json:
+  "chromium-args": "--remote-debugging-port=9222",
+
+Then open http://localhost:9222 in chrome.
+	
+
+
+Sharp
+-----
+
+To build sharp for a specific version of node:
+	cd ./node_modules/sharp/
+	node-gyp --target=v5.7.0 rebuild	# v5.7.0 is the version 
+						# of node used in nw.js
+
+
+Speedup loading of app
+----------------------
+
+One of the ways to speed up the load times when packed is to store Node's
+modules ./node_modules in a speporate loaction, outside of the the app.zip
+or package.nw
+To enable require(..) to find them:
+	- > npm install --save app-module-path
+	- when building the zip move all the modules out to a new location
+	  *except* app-module-path
+	- add this line to all root js modules *before* any other 
+	  require(..) is called:
+	  	if(process.__nwjs){
+			var path = require('path')
+			require('app-module-path')
+				.addPath(path.dirname(process.execPath) 
+					+ '/node_modules/')
+		}
