I built an open source cross-platform desktop starter app
I built an app for personal marketing using electron and then it inspired me to build other apps, so I took what I learned and put together a desktop starter app and open sourced it.
It saves a lot of time trying to get things up and running. It also has built in automatic updates using github releases and CI/CD to auto release new versions.
It's bare bones intentionally - check it out at https://github.com/dotnetfactory/desktop-starter-app That looks really cool!
So the auto update feature updates client app for all users instantly (like Discord does on open)? fyi, if you want to test it download an older version and see it auto update. Older version here: https://github.com/dotnetfactory/desktop-starter-app/release... app starts > check latest version in github releases > if new version, download it > display message to user "Restart to update". Similar to VS Code UX (i don't use discord much). The app also is signed for Mac. I have only tested it on Mac but plan to do more testing for windows soon. Nice! I have built app with Quasar(which uses electron) for windows and that is exactly thing I need. I will give it a shot
