Documentation (INCOMPLETE)

Make sure you have the requirements installed. Run the app using the python interpreter

python3 pinder.py

In addition, if you are running MacOS, you can build the distribution file as follows

./build.sh

This will create two folders, build and dist. The latter contains the pinder.app file, which can be run on MacOS. See the py2app documentation for more information.

Todo list

• Unit testing
• Refactoring and cleaning up viewer.py
• Better error handling for popup windows
• Messaging system
• Store facebook tokens more securely
• Better build scripts, with options for development or deployment builds
