Avia Client for Desktop
"stoat desktop"
Application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. now with avia client injected
## Installation
- All downloads and instructions for Stoat can be found on Stoats [Website](https://stoat.chat/download).
- If you use the Browser you can find FireFox/Chrome/Userscript Builds at [BrowserBuilds](https://github.com/AvaLilac/Ava-Client).
- Though I reccomend you use Userscript if on Chrome Based Browsers. As Plugins do not exist due to browser limits in Extensions. Userscript fine though
## Development Guide
_Contribution guidelines for Desktop app TBA!_
Before getting started, you'll want to install:
- Git
- Node.js
- pnpm (run `corepack enable`)
Then proceed to setup:
```bash
# clone the repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/AvaLilac/for-desktop aviaclient-for-desktop
cd aviaclient-for-desktop
# install all packages
pnpm i --frozen-lockfile
# update the assets. if you are using stoat's
git -c submodule."assets".update=checkout submodule update --init assets
# build the bundle
pnpm package
```
Various useful commands for development testing:
```bash
# connect to the development server
pnpm start -- --force-server http://localhost:5173
# test the flatpak (after `make`)
pnpm install:flatpak
pnpm run:flatpak
# ... also connect to dev server like so:
pnpm run:flatpak --force-server http://localhost:5173
# Nix-specific instructions for testing
pnpm package
pnpm run:nix
# ... as before:
pnpm run:nix --force-server=http://localhost:5173
# a better solution would be telling
# Electron Forge where system Electron is
