Hi Y Combinator #6

Closed btpf closed 10 months ago

Hi Everyone.

I opened github and saw that the project I was hoping to debut incrementally had exploded. Google searching showed that this attention comes from my app being reposted on YCombinator. So...Welcome :)

This attention is a little overwhelming and there is much to do so please bear with me.

Current Issues (In Order of priority)

I've installed the .deb version.... but so far it hasn't opened anything i've added to it yet... either completely crashing or giving 'No Section Found'. But good luck with this project. I might check it out when it hits 1.0 and cbz formats are supported.

I saw your comment that you don't have access to a Mac. I have an M2, iPad Pro, etc. If I could be of assistance, let me know. I am not a developer, but I do use VSCode and git for infrastructure. I'd need some advice on setting up the build environment since that isn't something I do. I'm guessing react, node, nvm and some other stuff. Reply back if you are interested--I am watching the project and will see it.

This is incredibly generous. Although I think a MacOS build could be accomplished in a single day, getting that done would be very challenging for me since I am completely unfamiliar with the MacOs platform & developer ecosystem. I will soon open up a separate issue asking for technical help since I know there are people who can breeze through this process.
