Electron package syntax no longer valid? #2

Absolutely love the idea of a WorkFlowy clone. Spent all day trying to install, but both direct drag to Electron, as well as git clone, npm install, and npm start fail on Windows 10. Looks like one of the Window methods was deprecated. Any thoughts on how I might be able to get this running? It sounds awesome.

Hmmm.. TBH I've never tried it in Windows and I haven't been keeping up with changes to Electron. The npm run scripts build and install are not going to work out of the box because I didn't version the build directory which contains the empty electron Magnolial.app bundle. Since you are building on windows I imagine you will need to do something different in any case since the .app bundle is a Mac thing. If you want to run it in Electron I would start with the Electron guide knowing that magnolial still definitely works as a static web application.

An alternative is to just run it as a web-app by serving the app directory locally with something like python3 -m http.server 8080.

The files that actually interact with the Electron framework and file system aresrc/node-io.js and app/main.js. I imagine any deprecated Electron API stuff is there. I don't have time to maintain this package, but would be happy to help you get it working if I can, and would review pull requests.

Also a word of warning, the keybindings I have by default are pretty idiosyncratic as is the file saving interface...

Cheers!
