Built on top of [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/), **Jimp**, and **Electron**, Comet offers a seamless and efficient user experience for media conversions, all within a simple, intuitive interface.\n\n![Comet UI 1](./assets/screenshot_1.png)\n![Comet UI 2](./assets/screenshot_2.png)\n![Comet UI 3](./assets/screenshot_3.png)\n![Comet UI 4](./assets/screenshot_4.png)\n\n---\n\n## Project Overview\n\nComet's goal is to provide a **free, user-friendly, and visually appealing** application for converting media files. Whether you need to convert a single file or multiple files at once, Comet is designed to make the process straightforward.\n\n### Key Features\n\n- **Cross-Platform Compatibility:** Works seamlessly on macOS, Windows, and Linux.\n- **Video, Audio, and Image Conversion:**\n  - Video formats: MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, etc.\n  - Audio formats: MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, etc.\n  - Image formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP, ICO, ICNS, etc.\n- **Bulk File Conversion:** Easily upload and convert multiple files in one go.\n- **Real-Time Progress Tracking:** Track the progress of each conversion with real-time feedback.\n- **Dark Mode:** A sleek dark theme for more comfortable use.\n- **Multi-Language Support:** Available in multiple languages for a global audience.\n- **Cancel/Resume Conversions:** Cancel ongoing conversions, with options to manage individual items in the queue.\n- **Jimp and FFmpeg Integration:** Use Jimp for images and FFmpeg for audio/video conversion.\n\n---\n\n## Recent Updates\n\n- **Unified Conversion Handler:** We’ve refactored the media conversion process to use an **Adapter Pattern**, allowing for a unified conversion handler for video, audio, and image files using either **FFmpeg** or **Jimp** depending on the file type.\n- **Advanced Testing:** Expanded unit tests using **Jest** to cover media conversion handlers and IPC processes.\n- **Improved Performance:** Faster conversions through optimizations to how we handle bulk file uploads and media processing queues.\n- **Enhanced UI and UX:** More responsive interface and clearer progress tracking for large file batches.\n\n---\n\n## Technologies Used\n\n- **Electron:** For building the cross-platform desktop application.\n- **Vue.js (with Composition API and TypeScript):** For the frontend UI.\n- **FFmpeg \u0026 Jimp:** Core engines for media conversion (video/audio via FFmpeg, images via Jimp).\n- **Node.js:** Backend services and media processing.\n- **Vite:** Modern build tool for fast development.\n- **Tailwind CSS:** For styling and responsive design.\n- **i18n:** Internationalization for multi-language support.\n- **Jest:** For unit testing.\n- **GitHub Actions:** Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) and release automation.\n\n---\n\n## Getting Started\n\nTo get started with Comet:\n\n1. **Clone the repository:**\n\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/stellar-comet/comet.git\n   cd comet\n   ```\n\n2. **Install dependencies:**\n\n   ```bash\n   npm install\n   ```\n\n3. **Run the application in development mode:**\n\n   ```bash\n   npm run start\n   ```\n\n4. **Build the application for production:**\n\n   ```bash\n   npm run make\n   ```\n\n5. **Test your changes:**\n\n   ```bash\n   npm run test\n   ```\n\n---\n\n## Roadmap\n\n- **Phase 1:** Basic UI Implementation (Completed)\n  - File upload functionality, file list management.\n\n- **Phase 2:** FFmpeg \u0026 Jimp Integration (Completed)\n  - Core conversion functionality for video, audio, and images.\n\n- **Phase 3:** UI Enhancements (Completed)\n  - Improved conversion progress tracking and batch conversion options.\n\n- **Phase 4:** Cross-Platform Testing and Releases (In Progress)\n  - Testing on macOS, Windows, and Linux.\n  - Package the app for distribution across platforms.\n  - Address macOS code-signing challenges (currently blocked by lack of Apple Developer account).\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
