executable for windows?

[Pkcarreno]

[albingroen]

I unfortunately don't have Windows PC to test the app on :/

[Pkcarreno]

I have windows, I can test it, but I don't know much about tauri

[albingroen]

I think if you fork, clone, run npm install and then npm run tauri build you should get a windows executable!

[Pkcarreno]

I see, I will try

For some reason while building failed and show this:

It seems you need some setup for building on Windows to work! https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites/#setting-up-windows

Hey @albingroen

Sorry for the long wait. I recently came back to this project and this time I was able to build it.

I had to solve a minor issue related to the icons and it works properly in windows.

Also, I compiled it on my Linux machine (Fedora with Gnome) and it works as expected.

Without code changes it works fine, maybe a visual change like integrating the title bar in the app would improve the experience. And in the case of Linux it is not picking up the dark mode.

If you want, I can experiment with solving these issues and I can help you porting a version for both platforms (maybe with Github actions?).

btw, first time I try it and it looks pretty nice and the integration with vim bindings is amazing!

[albingroen]

Hey, this looks super cool! I would definitely appreciate your help on this, since I have neither a Windows or Linux machine

[Pkcarreno]

Awesome, how should we proceed? Actually I already created a fork and made the icon changes I told you about.

I was researching to integrate the title bar in the app but I didn't get a simple way to do it in tauri 1, I got this package but it works only in tauri 2.

I also got this cross-platform compilation script, based on the official tauri documentation, I'm testing it in my repo to see how it works.
