Electron App? about npm-gui

[q-nick]

Yes, electron binary will be available soon.
But first i need to figure how to do self-update npm-gui to newest version.

Ah, I see that there's an electron folder in the repo. Have you gone through packaging with it?

This page has some options:

Electron Release Server
Electron gh-releases
Electron updater
Nuts

@bnb would you like to prepare everything that is required to build electron app binary?

As i see - releases (and later updates) could be served directly from github repo?

In project there is command to serve npm-gui on prebuilt electron, you should:
git clone
npm install
npm run app
then app window should appear.

Binary will also required to add: #5 - but i can handle this.

Also will be nice to do some automatic tests which could determine that new binary is working on Linux, Windows and OSX.

I seem to have gotten the electron-gh-releases plugin to work, being served directly from GitHub. No idea how to add tests for that if they're needed. Looking into building an app binary for multiple platforms.

Don't worry about test right now, they could be added later.
