The aim is to reuse proven design practices from production systems.\n\n## Aims\n\n* Secure by default\n* Extensible\n* Maximise developer productivity\n* Use battle tested libraries\n* Multi-process\n\n## Features\n\n* Cross platform\n* Secure sandbox\n* Built for developers\n* Simple standardised configuration\n* Window Layouts\n* Notifications\n* Cross application messaging\n\n## Documentation\n\nSee [Documentation](https://reactivemarkets.github.io/desktop/).\n\n## Quick Start\n\nTo install a prebuilt desktop run:\n\n```bash\nnpm install @reactivemarkets/desktop -g\n```\n\nDesktop takes one or many configuration files or urls. See [Configuration](#Configuration) for more details.\n\nTo start the application with 2 windows, from urls, run:\n\n```bash\ndesktop --url=https://google.com --url=https://startpage.com/\n```\n\nTo add another window run:\n\n```bash\ndesktop --url=https://duckduckgo.com/\n```\n\n## Command Line Usage\n\nDesktop comes with a full command line interface to create configuration and start the application.\n\nFor a full list of commands see the built in help:\n\n```bash\ndesktop --help\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nApplications are defined via configuration files, it is recommended to define your application in YAML. This is easier to read, maintain and allows you to group objects into a single file.\n\nThe command line interface allows you to create a basic configuration file in the current working directory:\n\n```bash\ndesktop init --name \"My Application\" --url https://localhost/\n```\n\nTo run that config file specifiy the `--file` flag:\n\n```bash\ndesktop --file application.yaml\n```\n\nConfiguration can be loaded locally or from a url:\n\n```bash\ndesktop -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/desktop-examples/config/main/examples/single-window.yaml\n```\n\n## Building from source\n\nTo install all dependencies and build run:\n\n**Note:** To be able to build for all platforms you will need to install some dependencies. On mac: `brew install mono fakeroot dpkg wine`\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/reactivemarkets/desktop.git\ncd desktop\nnpm ci\nnpm run build\n```\n\n## License\n\n[![FOSSA Status](https://app.fossa.com/api/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Freactivemarkets%2Fdesktop.svg?type=large)](https://app.fossa.com/projects/git%2Bgithub.com%2Freactivemarkets%2Fdesktop?ref=badge_large)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Freactivemarkets%2Fdesktop","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Freactivemarkets%2Fdesktop","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Freactivemarkets%2Fdesktop/lists"}
