This is a python QT app (for now) we're lookin to move to electron however packaging this has been...interesting.
- cpursley 2y agoPlease please please don’t move to electron and just build something native. Electron desktop software bloat is killing our machines.
- jawerty 2y agoPackaging a browser runtime for a chat app is a concern when the base amount of resources is far more than what we need. I'm more concerned about dev community + what runtime we'd prefer managing local browser in. I'm looking to Go frameworks right now (I'm naturally moving away from python to Go personally) if anyone has any suggestions
- dgfitz 2y agoI would be so happy if the migration went from pyqt to c++ qt. Hell, I’ll help with the conversion.
- artabra 2y agoWe will probably be open sourcing the frontend soon and you can hack on it all you want. :D
- jwrallie 2y agoSo the reason for no Linux support is non technical right? There are literally dozens of us! An easy way to scrape webpages is something I’m interested in, I promise I’ll try it when it’s supported.
- jawerty 2y agoOh please do report that on either the discord or email us. We had a few people request linux support; trying to log all the feedback. It's really just time limitations right now no prejudice :)
- mococa 2y agoPlease stick with Qt, I have ditched all non native and electron apps from my machine (the last replacement was VSCode to Zed)
- jawerty 2y agoInteresting can you lmk why you ditched all non native? We're discussing what decision to make on this now.
