It would be nice if your application would respect XDG_CONFIG_HOME ($HOME/.config) #208

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be nice if your application would respect the XDG_CONFIG_HOME, which defaults to $HOME/.config. It's nice to have an uncluttered $HOME!

Describe the solution you'd like It looks like setup.sh defines some temp- and configfolder settings and battery.sh uses them and start the app (?) but I didn't test it.

I dont know anything about electron apps but i think it would be much cleaner to use a standard library to read the XDG_CONFIG_HOME env. If you want, define your own env BATTERY_CONFIG etc.

I like your thinking @rafo, an uncluttered home is nice indeed.

How is XDG_RUNTIME_DIR read? I get an empty state when I access it through CLI.

Do you have the bandwidth to PR for this?

I'd also like to see ~/.battery be moved to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/. I don't have $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set neither, but $XDG_CONFIG_HOME would do. And ~/.battery could be a fallback solution.
