Happy to chip in.

I've set up AutoUpdater for my Electron + Svelte app in the past. I've also configured CI to notarize, sign and package the app via GitHub Actions.

@saaduw thats amazing, i really need it to be done via gitlab actions! could you give me some pointers (send a loom video to me swyx at smol . ai, or perhaps set up a quick callredacted to walk me through please?)

call notes

• use electron forge
• move to GH actions

• buy windows code signing from "komodo"
