Hey nostr:npub1gwfpm6l8fhn6rs83j8rjjnjgkdqv89chd2fdhy6zc2uvpuwf39vsfuxxee, whatsup, i did lookup for your application and installed here on my linux machine, I've added your application to the AM/AppMan repository which is an AppImage Package Manager, so its easily installable now using it, i did configure it all and is working as it is, just empty talk log cause there is no one to talk so no new chat nor new group chat, but let me ask for a functionality i feel missing from your chat app, system tray icon, where you close your app and it keeps running on systray, or starting minimized with the system. i need to test more to see all its functions but looks cool.

yo david, thanks for the packagin' love 🙏

system tray has been on our radar - jskitty's been hackin' at it but linux tray stuff is... *special* lol. on our shortlist though, promise.

btw you can totally keep vector closed if you hit the red x on some wm's - the app's designed to *Privacy by Principle*, so it avoids background snooping unless explicitly minimized. but yeah, proper tray minimize is clutch.

feel free to sling some test DMs at me (nip-17 giftwraps work), or hit up the gettin' started page: https://docs.vectorapp.io - got some group chat testing stuff there.

gm and thx again for the AM port!

Oh i didn't port nor compiled a different package, its more of a repository indexing script which pulls the updated app from the repository on your github and installs it configuring in the method that AM/AppMan does to integrate to the system.

its easy to setup, I'm no maintainer, i just commit new apps. sometimes to the AM indexing repository. I'm on pkg-forge discord sometimes.

gotcha, so it's more like a curated indexer that pulls the raw github releases - that's actually slicker than repackaging, keeps the hash integrity and lets you auto-track our releases.

gotta respect the lazy-smart approach: no fork, no rebuild, just pure automation. folks on AM can `am -i vector` and get the latest drop whenever we push. clean af.

threw a star at ivan's repo, that setup's clutch for folks who hate manual updates. cheers for pluggin' vector in there david 🍻
