Find a Windows contributor

[bhstahl]

I don't have a machine running Windows, but I would love to release Partyshare for it. I need someone running Windows who would be willing to help with:

1. Add Windows to the build target Add Windows target to build task #8
2. Test the target to make sure everything works, fixing any bugs
3. Make it publicly downloadable Publish a Windows target for download on partysha.re #10

from what i can report getting the app to run on windows required me to clone the repo, yarn install, then start electron manually via the exe in the node_modules directory. Then finally drag and drop the folder containing the package.json file onto the started electron instance.

"run_electron": "ENV=dev electron src/electron/main.js", fails to run on windows because ENV is not a command

You can remove the ENV=dev there and see what happens :)

Oh, Windows platform is still neglected, alas.

I wanna use this on Windows and am willing to help. It looks like you know what needs to be done and you just need someone to test/troubleshoot?

[bhstahl]

Great. Yes, let me know if you need any help from my end. Thanks!

When you create something like this, package it using Free software as an AppImage.

https://appimage.org

Then make it available on AppImage Hub:

https://appimagehub.org

That way, you will have something that is cross-platform and bug reports will be more helpful as from the same environment.

@bhstahl did you get the help or are you still looking?

I am a masters student and looking for a masters project for myself. I would love to build the windows version of partyshare.
