This is the product bar for making appbun feel worthy of a larger open-source community.
Make URL -> desktop app feel instant, inspectable, and reliable enough that people share the command before they explain the tool.
- One-line creation for recognizable apps through built-in recipes.
- Concept-based discovery so people can move from an intent like
designormusicto a useful app recipe. - A
doctorcommand that helps users and contributors diagnose local setup issues before filing bugs. - Cross-platform packaging scripts that make native-runner builds obvious without pretending to cross-compile locally.
- Generated GitHub Actions release workflows that turn native-runner guidance into uploadable artifacts.
- Generated Electrobun projects that are normal codebases, not opaque wrappers.
- The first command should be memorable.
- The generated project should be editable by a real developer.
- Common packaging failures should produce actionable diagnostics.
- Platform builds should be honest about native-runner requirements.
- Release automation should be present by default, but remain inspectable and easy to edit.
- Community contributions should have obvious entry points: recipes, docs, shell polish, packaging, and screenshots.
- Recipes should form a small, useful concept map rather than a flat pile of links.
- Expand recipes carefully with stable, recognizable targets.
- Use concept metadata to make related app categories obvious without adding a heavy registry.
- Add richer generated-app controls where Electrobun support is stable: reload, external-open behavior, and app metadata.
- Improve Windows and Linux packaging paths after macOS remains boringly reliable.
- Keep cross-platform build scripts aligned with Electrobun's native-runner guidance.
- Keep showcase screenshots current enough for README visitors to trust the project.
