Lädeli

Description

Given app icon, zip file of the app and a README.md, Lädeli generates a website where people can download the app.

What problem does it solve?

• updating a website for every new build can be time consuming
• manually updating urls for icons or binaries can lead to mistakes

Features

• Used the already existing app icon
• Markdown for content
• automatic checks for icon and binary
• HTML template
• Timestamp of the last update
• Static Site
• Fast. Really fast.
• Live Reload when making content changes

How it works

• Tailored to work with vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder
• expects the app icon to be in public/icon.png, binary to be in dist_electron/mac/*.zip and ./README.md

Attribution

• none

Things that could be improved

• automatic FTP upload
• list of already build apps (recent projects)
• external HTML template file instead of HTML template literal
• changes to external CSS template should not restart the dev version
• more meaningful version number updates instead of just incrementing with every change to the website
• screenshots from a folder
• index site with an overview of all apps
