Any plan for MacOS support? #1

Hey there! Nice project!! Do you have any plan for support macOS (M1) ??

Hello,

thanks for the feedback!

Well, technically speaking, the code is written in a crossplatform way, currently it doesn't contain a single platform-specific line and works simultaneously on Linux and Windows. And, since all of the dependencies do have Mac support as far as I remember, theoretically, it should be possible to compile and run the program on Mac.

Having that said, I don't have a Macbook I could try it on, and even if I did have one, I would first need to figure out how to use it i.e. what's the common Mac UX where Clipshare should blend in, whether Apple even allows running arbitrary programs on the system etc. I have no knowledge in this regard.

Thus, it's something best fitting for the community, people who already do have experience using Mac, if they report back the program works as expected over there, then it would make sense to list it as a supported platform. In fact, I could even rent a build server to create binaries in such case (of course if they can be run :) ).
