We've worked on the app but have yet to test it with users. We want to ship the app to the mainnet and test with users to get feedback. However before we can do that, we need to implement the following:
This is still open, early research. I'm not yet certain what needs to be done here, but I think following the Provider standard should give us a modular and extensible wallet support.
We use Electron to build desktop apps. There's currently a native modules issue that's breaking the build pipeline. Until this is fixed, we can't generate cross-platform application executables.
3. Mainnet Node Infrastructure
The app uses local nodes for testing, but we can't use comit-scripts for production. Before we can package our desktop app, we need to figure out the mainnet node infrastructure:
How do we run Ethereum / Bitcoin nodes on the mainnet? What does that look like?
Do we package it as part of the app or use remote nodes?
How should we include the CND nodes as part of the app?
As a start, we can first allow users to have the create-comit-app example run on mainnet.
4. Deploy and Host Maker backend
Blocker: Mainnet Node infrastructure must be complete before we can deploy a Maker service.
The fixed maker service needs to be deployed and hosted somewhere. This is fairly straightforward.

1. External Provider Support in SDK https://github.com/comit-network/app/issues/9
The current
BitcoinWalletandEthereumWalletprovided by the SDK doesn't let us use the Ledger.Other cross-chain libraries support external wallets using the
Providerstandard. More details: https://github.com/liquality/chainabstractionlayerThis is still open, early research. I'm not yet certain what needs to be done here, but I think following the
Providerstandard should give us a modular and extensible wallet support.2. Fix Electron build pipeline https://github.com/comit-network/app/issues/19We use Electron to build desktop apps.

We should also split the Maker service and the Taker app to separate repos at this point https://github.com/comit-network/app/issues/37
