Summary

I'm wondering if there is gonna be linux support for this app. (Arch)

[UdaraJay]

hopefully in v1; I haven't had the time to check on linux yet, but if someone can take a look and fix the build issues for linux I'd be happy to publish it!

I tested it on my Arch machine. It worked fine. I'm still going to test it thoroughly and will update it here. @bartosz-skejcik , wanna collab on building it for Linux?

@adityakrcodes I mean i could at least try. not sure if I'll be useful in any way. I would have to get familiar with the codebase.

Hi @adityakrcodes would you mind sharing your build instructions? I've been having trouble in running it due to an error in the safeStorage module. The following is my error when running the AppImage or the compiled app

 JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:

my main.js has the following line

s = n(84157); if (!s.safeStorage.isEncryptionAvailable()) throw new Error("Encryption is not available on this system.");

the difference in how it works on linux is briefly mentioned here.

Thanks for your help!
