README

A simple client to post to gemlog.blue

Test directory: gemini://gemlog.blue/users/TestableClient/

Python3 Requirements

I found running python3 -m pip install works the best on MacOS

python3 -m pip install pyinstaller
python3 -m pip install fake_useragent
python3 -m pip install PySimpleGUI
python3 -m pip install darkdetect # dark mode detection
python3 -m pip install install darkdetect[macos-listener] # MacOS only

Building app

On MacOS

run ./source/build.sh

On Linux (Alpine)

apk add python3
apk add py3-pip
apk add python3-tkinter # pip3 wouldn't install properly

run ./source/build_linux.sh
