New Quiqr Desktop Home

This is a template for building a desktop application using Electron, Vite, React, and Express. It is a full-stack application that uses Electron to run the React frontend and Express backend. The frontend is built using Vite, and the backend is built using Express.

Known Issues

• The github action that's supposed to build the installers, builds a broken .dmg file, due to it not being signed.

GitHub Action

The action triggers on a new tag created with the format v*.*.*. It will build the installers and upload them as release assets.

git tag v1.0.0  # Create a new tag
git push origin v1.0.0  # Push the tag to GitHub
