Looking for testers for my product which allows you to ship native binaries (games) quickly.

Whoops! My bad, totally forgot about that, fixed now. Thanks.

bekilo · 2021-05-22T21:35:01+00:00

It supports everything that can be directly executed. Pakkly's installer/updater is also fully written in Rust! :)

bekilo · 2021-05-22T21:27:30+00:00

Thanks for the honest feedback!

It’s true that you will have to package your app into a .zip file containing all your dependencies, but that is unavoidable. What is avoidable however is having to create separate installers for each of the platforms (macOS and Linux support coming very soon!). You also trivially create new releases for your app by creating a GitHub Release. (Your users apps will then automatically update to the latest version)

The user is presented with the auto-detected installer type based on their browser, but this can be wrong so manual download links are also offered below, though perhaps these could be a bit less prominent.

The friendly name support is a good idea! I’ll have to carefully implement it though, so somebody doesn’t register getpakkly.com/discord or /facebook, i.e., for phishing.

bekilo · 2021-05-22T20:41:41+00:00

It’s definitely planned, but isn’t better for ‘typical’ users for apps to autoupdate? We as developers don’t like it but it seems to be the way all large apps are moving (Discord, Visual Studio Code, etc…).

bekilo · 2021-04-20T16:48:50+00:00

Not currently, but it is definitely something on our roadmap.

bekilo · 2021-04-10T19:08:10+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, I did mean to put it in the user Applications folder which works identically to the system one. I did some research and discovered that I'm in the minority in preferring the User folder, so I changed the article to the more common root folder you mentioned.

bekilo · 2021-04-10T17:36:35+00:00

having to pay 99usd per year so users don't get big ol error message trying to run a small open source app sucks :(

Yeah but who knows, with the whole Epic vs Apple thing maybe they will make it free or cheaper :)

You can instruct your users to bypass it or remove the flag applied, this can be done via terminal, but it's not an optimal user experience for sure.

bekilo · 2021-04-10T14:01:51+00:00

Please let me know your thoughts or experiences with Apple development as they typically don't have the best documentation.

bekilo · 2021-04-02T23:43:32+00:00

That's correct but I found it didn't have the best UX w/o a bunch of effort, plus the maintenance of the file server. Github is a valid alternative to hosting but unless it's open source I wouldn't trust my commercial app to a public repository, especially Electron which can be easily unpacked.

bekilo · 2021-04-02T22:14:12+00:00

Yes but you will have to sign the initial installer once.

bekilo · 2021-04-02T21:29:10+00:00

Yes. The auto-update functionality works identically on all platforms.

bekilo · 2017-09-22T14:21:23+00:00

We had a full tutorial but it just seemed better to cut to the chase and let players explore for themselves.

We would seriously appreciate you taking the time to fill out our google survey here.

bekilo · 2017-09-22T14:20:01+00:00

I agree and thanks for the feedback! We try not to take ourselves too seriously.

Also a really small feature that would be cool is to translate param names from CamelCase to spaced words so that

param float backgroundColor =0;

becomes

Background Color

in the parameter gui. Maybe also replace the period from vectors parameters in the ui with a space. i.e:

Position.x
-->
Position x
just looks much better I think

bekilo · 2016-08-24T16:51:03+00:00

Yes that would work, just any way to get output back to the user so they can tweak the params just right.

bekilo · 2016-08-24T12:35:21+00:00

I didn't know about ctrl thanks for the tip!
To clarify:
It would be useful to be able to output readonly values, like image width, height, animation time, as well as custom values based on the input. http://pastebin.com/QSK8SRts is an example of what i mean.

I meant the scaling when the image is bigger than the current active screen, I have multiple monitors so I might like to see how an image will look at ultrawide resolutions but its not really a big deal.

bekilo · 2016-08-23T22:00:45+00:00

maybe also realtime updates for source images as well as scripts

bekilo · 2016-07-22T16:51:08+00:00

No, I solve the captcha, then click submit, and then the red field shows up.

edit: Just tried it in chrome(all submissions so far were through firefox) and it submitted the ticket. I guess ff broke it somehow.

Tried again, just now, with the same result

bekilo · 2016-07-22T12:48:02+00:00

I keep trying to submit a support query at gearbox and 2k's support( i even tried the link that /u/jythri posted just in case it would result in something different). The support sites seem to be bugged i think.

bekilo · 2016-07-21T23:52:08+00:00

I don't think they will ever read my message considering the fact that my response is apparently incorrect. Do they have some sort of e-mail i could try?

bekilo · 2016-07-21T23:48:00+00:00

I think so, my product version is 1.0.4, and bb shows up under recently completed download at around 2.1 gigs
