Integrate with **C#, Java, Python, Go, or C++** apps with zero dependencies.\n\n---\n\n\n## Features\n\n- **Check for updates** via GitHub or custom API\n- **Download and install updates** automatically (optional)\n- **Submit user feedback** via POST to your API\n- **Developer mode** (`F12`) to inspect and debug\n- **GUI or headless CLI mode**\n- **Single `.exe`** — no install, no .NET runtime required (if published self-contained)\n\n---\n\n\n## Quick Start\n\n1. **Bundle** `feedbacktool.exe` in your app's release folder or installer.\n2. **Launch** it from your app using command-line arguments (see below).\n\n---\n\n\n## Usage\n\n### GUI Mode\n\n```bash\nfeedbacktool.exe -update https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\nfeedbacktool.exe -feedback https://yourapi.com/feedback\n```\n\nThis opens a simple UI for update or feedback.\n\n### CLI / No-GUI Mode\n\n```bash\nfeedbacktool.exe -nogui -update \u003curl\u003e -downloadinstall true\nfeedbacktool.exe -nogui -feedback -url \u003curl\u003e -message \"It crashed\" -username \"testuser\"\n```\n\n---\n\n\n## Integration Examples\n\n### C#\n```csharp\nProcess.Start(\"feedbacktool.exe\", \"-nogui -update https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\");\n```\n\n### Java\n```java\nProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder(\"feedbacktool.exe\", \"-nogui\", \"-update\", \"https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\");\nbuilder.start();\n```\n\n### Python\n```python\nimport subprocess\nsubprocess.run([\n    'feedbacktool.exe', '-nogui', '-feedback', '-url', 'https://yourapi.com', '-message', 'Bug!', '-username', 'tester'\n])\n```\n\n### C++\n```cpp\n#include \u003ccstdlib\u003e\nint main() {\n    system(\"feedbacktool.exe -nogui -update https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\");\n    return 0;\n}\n```\n\n### Go\n```go\nimport \"os/exec\"\nexec.Command(\"feedbacktool.exe\", \"-nogui\", \"-update\", \"https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\").Run()\n```\n\n---\n\n\n## Recommended Usage\n\nBundle `feedbacktool.exe` in your application's release directory:\n\n```\nYourApp/\n├── yourapp.exe\n├── feedbacktool.exe   ← bundle this\n└── ...\n```\n\nCall it from your app’s update button, crash handler, or settings screen.\n\n---\n\n\n## Exit Codes\n\n| Code | Meaning           |\n| ---- | ----------------- |\n| 0    | Success           |\n| 1    | Update failed     |\n| 2    | Feedback failed   |\n| 3    | Invalid arguments |\n\n---\n\n\n## Options\n\n* `-nogui` – disables GUI (for automation)\n* `-dev` – enables DevTools auto-launch\n* `-update \u003curl\u003e` – URL to check for updates\n* `-downloadinstall true|false` – download if update found\n* `-feedback` – activates feedback mode\n* `-url \u003curl\u003e` – API endpoint to POST to\n* `-message \"\u003cmsg\u003e\"` – feedback message\n* `-username \"\u003cid\u003e\"` – optional identifier\n\n---\n\n## Author / Maintainer\n\nCreated by [abraham-ny](https://github.com/abraham-ny) — contributions welcome!\n\n---\n\n\n## Future Plans\n\n* [ ] Auto-restart after update\n* [ ] Config file support\n* [ ] Log history window\n* [ ] Feedback categorization\n\n---\n\n### CLI / No-GUI Mode (`-nogui`)\n\n###  Update Check (with optional auto-download)\n\n```bash\nfeedbacktool.exe -nogui -update \u003curl\u003e -downloadinstall true\n```\n\n###  Send Feedback (silent)\n\n```bash\nfeedbacktool.exe -nogui -feedback -url \u003curl\u003e -message \"It crashed\" -username \"testuser\"\n```\n\n---\n\n##  Cross-Language Integration\n\n###  C\\#\n\n```csharp\nProcess.Start(\"feedbacktool.exe\", \"-nogui -update https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\");\n```\n\nWith output parsing:\n\n```csharp\nvar proc = new Process\n{\n    StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo\n    {\n        FileName = \"feedbacktool.exe\",\n        Arguments = \"-nogui -feedback -url https://yourapi.com -message \\\"Hello\\\" -username Dev\",\n        RedirectStandardOutput = true,\n        UseShellExecute = false,\n        CreateNoWindow = true\n    }\n};\n\nproc.Start();\nstring result = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();\nproc.WaitForExit();\nConsole.WriteLine(result);\n```\n\n---\n\n###  Java\n\n```java\nProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder(\"feedbacktool.exe\",\n    \"-nogui\", \"-update\", \"https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\");\nbuilder.redirectErrorStream(true);\nProcess process = builder.start();\n\ntry (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()))) {\n    String line;\n    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {\n        System.out.println(line);\n    }\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n###  Python\n\n```python\nimport subprocess\n\nresult = subprocess.run(\n    ['feedbacktool.exe', '-nogui', '-feedback', '-url', 'https://yourapi.com', '-message', 'Bug!', '-username', 'tester'],\n    capture_output=True,\n    text=True\n)\n\nprint(result.stdout)\n```\n\n---\n\n###  C++\n\n```cpp\n#include \u003ccstdlib\u003e\n\nint main() {\n    system(\"feedbacktool.exe -nogui -update https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\");\n    return 0;\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n###  Go\n\n```go\npackage main\n\nimport (\n    \"fmt\"\n    \"os/exec\"\n)\n\nfunc main() {\n    out, err := exec.Command(\"feedbacktool.exe\", \"-nogui\", \"-update\", \"https://api.github.com/repos/your/repo/releases/latest\").Output()\n    if err != nil {\n        fmt.Println(\"Error:\", err)\n    }\n    fmt.Println(string(out))\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n##  Recommended Usage\n\nBundle `feedbacktool.exe` in your application's release directory or installer:\n\n```\nYourApp/\n├── yourapp.exe\n├── feedbacktool.exe   ← bundle this\n└── other files...\n```\n\nYou may also call it from your app’s update button, crash handler, or settings screen.\n\n---\n\n##  Exit Codes\n\n| Code | Meaning           |\n| ---- | ----------------- |\n| 0    | Success           |\n| 1    | Update failed     |\n| 2    | Feedback failed   |\n| 3    | Invalid arguments |\n\n(*You can parse `stdout` or rely on exit codes for logic.*)\n\n---\n\n##  Options Summary\n\n### General\n\n* `-nogui` – disables GUI (for automation)\n* `-dev` – enables DevTools auto-launch\n\n### Update\n\n* `-update \u003curl\u003e` –
