Bun js desktop app

1. Clone the Webapp Repository

Start by cloning the webapp repository from GitHub:

bash
git clone https://github.com/Bunland/webapp.git

2. Navigate to the Project Directory

Change into the cloned directory:

bash
cd webapp

3. Install Dependencies

Next, navigate to your specific app directory (which you may need to create if it doesn't exist) and install the necessary dependencies:

bash
cd myapp
bun install

4. Run the Application in Development Mode

To start your application in development mode, go back to the main "webapp" folder and run:

bash
bun run dev

5. Build Your Webapp

To build your webapp for distribution, you will need Golang installed on your system since the current build process relies on it. If you don't have Golang installed, follow the instructions on their official site.

Once Golang is installed, execute the following command in the "webapp" directory:

bash
bun run build

This will package your application, creating a folder named `webapp_1.0.0` and a `.deb` file that you can install on your computer.

6. Customize Your Application

You can modify your application's name and other information by editing the `build-linux.sh` file. If you want to change icons, navigate to the "icons" folder and replace the existing icons with your own.

Conclusion

Using Bun to create desktop applications is feasible with projects like webapp, which leverages Chromium for rendering. While this project is still under development, it provides a solid foundation for building desktop applications using Bun. Be sure to follow any updates from the repository for new features and improvements as development progresses.
