Open Source Java software for distributed collaborative software development.
## Cross-Platform Desktop Collaboration Software
**DossIO is a cross-platform desktop collaboration software based on [JavaFX](https://openjfx.io/)
and [Kryonet](https://github.com/crykn/kryonet), designed for Windows, Linux, and macOS.** It allows
users to synchronize files locally and run projects on device.
DossIO is a solution to the typical real-time collaboration workflow, where each user would only have
access to the terminal output and not be able to run their projects locally (plugins like Live-Share
in VS Code for example). Instead, the files of your project are available on each client's computer,
allowing them to run the software independently and store a copy of the project when the session ends.
This is an independent software, not a plugin to a development tool, so you are free to use it with
any IDE/development environment!
## WARNING
**This project is in early development and may contain bugs and/or incomplete features. Use at your
own risk!**
Currently, DossIO is not recommended for production use. Please report any issues you encounter on
the [GitHub Issues Page](https://github.com/RivelBop/DossIO/issues).
DossIO is unstable on non-Unix systems (Windows). Use at your own risk.
### Missing Features
- Security (data encryption, control clients joining, etc.)
- Toggling .gitignore files
- More File Support (binary files, images, etc.)
- File Modification Indicators (per user)
- And More!
## Quick Start
1. Download the latest release from
the [Releases Page](https://github.com/RivelBop/DossIO/releases) (or
[latest](https://github.com/RivelBop/DossIO/releases/latest)).
2. Ensure you have [JDK 21](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java21) installed on
your system.
3. Double-click the JAR file if your system is configured to run JAR files with Java. Alternatively,
run the downloaded JAR file using the command:
```bash
java -jar DossIO-platform-x.y.z.jar
```
Replace `platform` with the OS you are using and `x.y.z` with the actual version number of the
downloaded file.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your server or connect as a client.
5. Start collaborating!
