Roadmap

1.1.0

Allow multiple downloads at once, each download in its own card panel

1.2.0

Implement settings profiles
Allow using different settings profiles for different downloads
Allow saving settings profile as default

2.0.0

Refactor with Angular (relies on Electron.NET update allowing application-level node packages)

Contributing

All contributions are welcome. Electron.NET is still a very new framework and I'm new to Electron in general, so I'm sure I haven't written idiomatic Electron code. Any style corrections are welcome.

Development environment consists of:

Visual Studio 2017 / Visual Studio Code
NodeJS 8.6.x
.NET Core 2.x

Building

Use Visual Studio or the following .NET Core CLI commands.

dotnet restore
dotnet electronize start

This will run the application in debug mode.

dotnet electronize build <platform>

This will build and package the application for the specified platform.
Platform is optional and will default to the currently running system.
Platform options are win, osx, or linux.

NOTE: Building for the macOS platform does not currently work on Windows. Use Linux or macOS itself.

Debugging

Debug the UI itself using Electron's built-in debugging tools. These can be opened with Ctrl+Shift+I while running the application in debug mode.

Debug the .NET code by attaching the debugger to the Yodel.exe (or similarly named) process.
