This is a desktop application built with Electron that wraps your Web Instance site and makes it available as a standalone desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux.
- Opens your Web in a standalone window.
- Can be run locally without a browser.
- URL can be easily changed in
index.jsorconfig.json.
- Clone the repository:
- Install dependencies:
npm install
To start the desktop app:
npm start
This will open a window with your Web Instance URL. You can change the URL directly in main.js.
To create an executable for Windows, Mac or Linux, use electron-packager or electron-builder
Example with electron-packager:
- Install:
npm install electron-packager --save-dev
- Package the app:
npx electron-packager . WebApp --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --overwrite
This will create a folder WebApp-win32-x64 with a ready .exe for Windows. Change --platform to darwin (Mac) or linux for other platforms.
