If you like this app you can contribute by buying me a coffee or whatever you want, that would be really great :)
It's also nice if you want to improve the app. The stack is Tauri v2 + React + Typescript + Tailwind.
Feel free to summit a PR if you create something good!
This project uses:
Install these with the setup script for your platform:
- Windows (PowerShell):
./scripts/setup-windows.ps1- MacOS:
./scripts/setup-macos.sh- Ubuntu/Debian Linux:
./scripts/setup-ubuntu.shOnce you have successfully completed the above, you will need to install the pnpm packages:
pnpm installDebug from the command line:
pnpm tauri devRun without debugging:
pnpm tauri dev --releaseView linter output:
pnpm lintFor your convinenece the setup scripts will also create a Visual Studio Code launch.json project file for your platform. Open the Cardo folder in VS Code and it will be used automatically.
For help modifying the setup with VS Code, follow the instructions in the Tauri docs but replace yarn in the sample config to pnpm.

You can contribute with translations if you speak some other languages. It's only necessary to replicate json files in the translations folder. There is a tool on scripts to auto translate it using Google Translate, but I didn't want to leave bad translations, even English could be badly translated as it isn't my mother language.
On Windows you may experience a Windows shield alert, that's because the app is signed with a self-signed certificate, not a paid one. Maybe alerts will stop appearing if the app earns some reputation. Of course you don't have to believe me, inspecting the code and building it by yourself is always the safer option.
