hi @TheKnarf , atm the launcher is comprised of a Python Flask server that serves a React front-end app.
Because we don't want users to need npm/node to build the React app on their end, we currently keep the built js/html/css files in the repo, so that all the user needs to do is start the Flask server and they'll be able to instantly access the React web app.
Storing dist/
in the repo is not ideal, but in this case, it helps simplify the setup & usage for the end user, so if we were to just remove it rn, the app would not install properly for users.
Hmm, is there perhaps another way to achieve this same goal, without needing to add/track the dist/
folder in the repo and requiring the user to have npm/node on their end?
Couldn't you just require node and run npm build
inside of run.sh
? This seems like a really weird way of solving it...

folder, this shouldn't be committeddist/
