So please feel free to open a new issue.   \n\n\n### Notes\n\nFeel free to submit a PR with build scripts for other operating systems.\n\nThe app was built and tested on my computer, and my computer only. And it works! \nYou know the saying, \"if it works on my computer, then it is production ready!\".\nSo yeah don't bullshit me with \"it doesn't work on my computer\" yada yada        \n\nFeel free to open new issues if you find any (I bet you will) and PRs are highly welcomed! \n\n`PS. I tested/made this on a MBP 2017 with macOS High Sierra 10.13.5`  \n\n\n## DISCLAIMER:   \n\nI do not own Android Messages, and the app icon distributed with it. It's a property of Google.  \nI simply created a distributable macOS binary for the Google's Android Messages Web.\n\nPlease see [support.google.com](https://support.google.com/messages/answer/7611075?p=web_computer\u0026visit_id=1-636651929680042970-1740597568\u0026rd=1) for more info \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcollinsnji%2Fandroid-messages","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcollinsnji%2Fandroid-messages","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcollinsnji%2Fandroid-messages/lists"}
