Linux desktop app #25

Open nazar1ua opened 1 year ago

benjamincanac commented 1 year ago

Hello @nazar1ua,

We intended to release a Linux version of the application but we encountered a few caveats. Maybe someone will be interested or will have a solution so I'll give the technical details.

With Electron, we have the choice to build an AppImage but this doesn't support deep links so we couldn't get the authentication working or to build specific targets such as deb or rpm but those don't support auto-updating (not an option as a web application with an API).

However, Volta will be available as a PWA really soon so you can enjoy almost the same experience as a native application.

I think, with API versioning, deb and rpm is a good option

Indeed, this is something we have yet to accomplish but which requires a lot more workload and not a top-priority as of right now.

I would also vote for the Linux desktop app 🙏
