Support Windows & Linux

[manosim]

Closes #32 and #111.

Cross Testing:

• OSX
• Windows 10 (all taskbar positions: bottom, top, left and right)
• Linux Mint XFCE (top and bottom)
• Linux Manjaro XFCE (bottom, top, left and right)
• Ubuntu 14LTS (requires libappindicator1, but works)

Windows Release:

• Check Autoupdate (.zip or .exe?)
• Check Autostart
• App Icon (.ico)

Linux Release:

• Remove autoupdate button from settings
• Check Autostart
• App Icon (?)

Help Wanted

The app should work fine now on OSX, Windows and some Linux distributions. It would be great if any folks can help with testing. Basically just running the app to see what works and what's broken in different platforms. We do have a private channel in the atom slack team (http://atom-slack.herokuapp.com/) so if you are interested in testing, ping me on Slack in the atom team (username: ekonstantinidis).

Autolaunch works with Windows.

GNOME pls? <3

[Serkan-devel]

Will there be lxde or lxqt support for this?

[brpaz]

Whats the status of this PR?
I can help with Linux version if needed.

[Serkan-devel]

Any updates on this?
I'd recommend Appimage as package

[edubxb]

Linux support would be awesome! thanks for the effort!

[danielstclair]

Looks great. I'm going to test it on Manjaro and let you know how it goes.

Please ping me once the AppImage is available so that I can include it on https://appimage.github.io/apps/.

What is the status of this issue? I just built the latest from the cross-gitify branch on Ubuntu 18.04, and I'm getting arbitrary JS errors when booting:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:

Unsure if this is me having missed some critical build step, or this is the result of incompatibility.

Edit: I figured this out myself ─ the code that initialises AutoStart depends on the Gitify being launched as an OSX .app. I can raise a PR to workaround later if required.

It's been a really long time since this PR was opened but I've finally got some time to sort this out in v3. Unless any bugs pop up, the next version will have support for both Windows & Linux. 🎉

On https://www.gitify.io/ I can see that there is a download-button for Windows but nothing happens when I try to click on it. Is it supposed to be working yet? :)

[manosim]

Planning to release support for both Windows & Linux this week (this button was on a hurry to go live on the website 😂)

In the meantime - you can download a pre-release from this link.

[JakeSidSmith]

I cannot access this link...

Any chance that GitHub allows you to download the artifacts from GitHub Actions? I've made it so that it builds the app for every commit and stores the app as an artifact.

[JakeSidSmith]

Oooh, looks like it. I'll hopefully give that a go tomorrow. 👍

[probonopd]

There is no AppImage?
