GifBar

GifBar is a quick gif searching app that lives in your menubar.

Gifbar is built on React, Webpack and Electron.

Setup

Giphy requires an API key. Get yours here.

Once you have one, edit the root file env.empty.json and save it as env.json. (The build script will move it to the correct location)

Installation

npm install

# To generate build directory (required to run app)
npm run build

# To watch for changes (for use when developing)
npm run watch

# Start the Electron app
npm run electron

# Build a release
npm run release

Notes

Pronunciation: Much like how the creator of the file format has told us that it's pronounced, 'jif'; you pronounce the name of this application, jif-bar.

Or: Pronounce it with a hard 'G' like 'goat' or 'golf'. Do whatever you like and don't let people tell you how to live.
