suggestion: Offline version

[nathgit]

is there an offline version, or is there a possibility of one, for those who need/want to use it when they don't have access to the internet?

If not an official version, maybe somebody else could do it, as happened with photopea? https://github.com/suzuke/photopea

Hello! You opened this suggestion in Glyphr Studio v1 - there was actually an Electron / offline version for v1, you can find it in this repository: https://github.com/glyphr-studio/Glyphr-Studio-Desktop/releases

We have stopped working on v1, and now all our effort is on v2, which can be found here: https://github.com/glyphr-studio/Glyphr-Studio-2

I think your suggestion still applies. In the short term, I'm thinking of putting together a detailed tutorial on how to start a local server using Node, then running the released app files locally. In the repository, the /dist/ folder has the compiled files. You do not need an internet connection to run these... but you do need a web server.

If somebody would like to start an electron version for v2, that would be great! It is on my list, but maybe further down in priority.

I'm currently in the process of updating the current version of Electron to support V2.

Hey @Autre31415 this is great! Do you want to start a new repository Glyphr-Studio-2-Desktop? That would probably be best, as all the new v2 stuff has different repositories than their v1 counterparts. Let me know what you think.

I think keeping it in the same repo will work. I'm planning to drop a 0.6.0 release which will represent an update to the final 1.x version along with a handful of other bug fixes, then 0.7.0 onward would be based on 2.0+.

In a lot of ways the refactor for 0.6.0 is more substantial than bumping to 2.0 simply due to how much Electron has changed over the years with its security model.
