I wanna use this

Executables coming soon. If you're electron-friendly, please feel free to build and upload executables to this repo!

All keybindings start with Ctrl.

Ctrl Q will close the window, but not the app.

Right-clicking the tray icon closes the app.

Clicking the tray icon launches the app.

Ctrl Backspace goes back one page in history, aka to previous conversation.

Ctrl M minimizes the window.

Ctrl Shift F sets the app to fullscreen.

Ctrl Y centers the app.

Ctrl Tab toggles the conversation list.

Ctrl Shift I toggles Developer Tools.

Electron (npm install electron --save-dev --save-exact --global, global so we can use the electron CLI)
Electron Local Shortcut and some other plugins (npm i in this repo will do it)

Try npm i and then install electron

electron .

Change the constant colors at the top of main.js for quick theming.

You need electron-packager. To install look at https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager

We've been using Fapkin as the name to keep things organized.

Go to the folder named Fapkin and paste here the messenger.ico, then run FapkinChat.exe
