Ben Build Status

Fast, native*, cross-platform Slack client, develop with React QML

Screenshot

*native in the sense that it's not another Electron app, nor using a webview

Features

🚧 NOTE: This is a work-in-progress and definitely not feature-complete! 🚧

  • Cross-platform: one codebase, deploy everywhere
  • Hackable: the app is mainly in TypeScript, using front-end technologies (redux, react-redux, redux-persist etc.)
  • Better developer experience: supports Hot Module Replacement, React Devtool, Redux Devtool

Build Instruction for macOS

  1. Setup environment:
  • Install XCode 10 (with updated Command Line Tool xcode-select --install)
  • Install Qt 5.10.1
    • Note: must be version 5.10.1
    • Install any additional Kits you wish to use (iOS, iOS Simulator, Android etc.)
  • Install qpm
  • Install NodeJS & yarn
  1. Front-end bundle:
# install deps
yarn install

# build for macOS
yarn build

The JS bundle and app's assets should be available at ./native/dist folder

  1. Native build:
cd native

# install deps
qpm install

# generate Makefile
mkdir -p output
qmake -o "output/" -spec macx-clang CONFIG+=x86_64 CONFIG+=release PRODUCTION=true "Ben.pro"

# build
make -C "output/" -j7 all

# generate dmg
macdeployqt "./output/Ben.app" -dmg -qmldir="."

You should find Ben.app and Ben.dmg in output folder
