As of August 2020, development on GroupMe Desktop Client Avalonia has moved!

Development with the Avalonia UI is now in a branch on the main GMDC Repo.

[DEPRECATED]
GroupMe Desktop Client Avalonia is an in-progress port of [GroupMe Desktop Client](https://github.com/alexdillon/GroupMeClient) to the cross-platform [Avalonia](https://github.com/avaloniaui/avalonia) UI Framework. GroupMe Desktop Client Avalonia is a unofficial, modular, open-source, configurable client for using the GroupMe chat service.

***For usage on Windows, check out [GroupMe Desktop Client](https://github.com/alexdillon/GroupMeClient), which is stable and suitable for daily use.***

## Development Information
### General Information
GMDCA is built using C#/Avalonia running on .NET Core 3.1. All external dependencies are included as NuGet packages, and included projects, so no special steps are required to build a copy of GMDCA using Visual Studio.

### Windows
Visual Studio 2019 is recommended, with the .NET Core 3.1 SDK installed. No additional steps are required, just clone the repository and run a Build from within Visual Studio.

### Ubuntu
GMDCA can also be compiled on Linux using the dotnet CLI.

- Install .NET Core 3.1 SDK. Directions are available from Microsoft [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-ubuntu).
- Clone the repository and begin a build with the commands:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/alexdillon/GroupMeClientAvalonia/
cd GroupMeClientAvalonia/
dotnet publish GroupMeClientAvalonia -r linux-x64 --self-contained true
```

The resulting binary will be stored in the `GroupMeClientAvalonia\GroupMeClientAvalonia\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\linux-x64\` folder, with the binary named `GroupMeClientAvalonia`. It can be ran from either the terminal, or by double-clicking the executable from the GUI.

### macOS
GMDCA is also compatible with macOS, and has been tested on Catalina with Visual Studio 2019 for Mac.
