CodeNomad App

This package contains the native desktop application shell for CodeNomad, built with Electron.

Overview

The Electron app wraps the CodeNomad UI and Server into a standalone executable. It provides deeper system integration, such as:

• Native window management
• Global keyboard shortcuts
• Application menu integration

Development

To run the Electron app in development mode:

npm run dev

This will start the renderer (UI) and the main process with hot reloading.

Building

To build the application for your current platform:

npm run build

To build for specific platforms (requires appropriate build tools):

• macOS: npm run build:mac
• Windows: npm run build:win
• Linux: npm run build:linux

Structure

• electron/main: Main process code (window creation, IPC).
• electron/preload: Preload scripts for secure bridge between main and renderer.
• electron/resources: Static assets like icons.
