Version 1.0.0: User interface, codebase rebuild

[electronfriends]

I am motivated to make Wemp more than just a system tray menu. If we're going to use Electron, let's do it right.

Wemp will get a user interface, so I have migrated to electron-vite with Vue. The whole codebase will be rebuilt.

Since we previously had problems with Electron Forge (which were never solved), the switch to electron-vite, which uses Electron Builder, made even more sense.

If you want to see the progress on the next version, you can look at the dev branch.

To-Do

• User interface

  • List of services with buttons to start, restart, stop, etc.
  • Settings and switching between different paths.
  • Console showing actions or error messages in the current session. Like XAMPP.

• Service logic

  • Download and extract the services.
  • Install the services and use the stubs to configure them.
  • Start, restart and stop services.
  • Monitoring of changes to configuration files.

• New readme with screenshots of the user interface.

Nice to have

• Download progress bar for each service.
• Get version of services automatically from its website. Probably needs to be hosted somewhere.
• Manual version setting for services. (kinda tricky because PHP's download file name often changes)
• Multiple language support.
• Maybe a new icon and logo for Wemp.

Hey, glad you like it. I'm still working on it but the new version will take a while.

I'm a fullstack-backend dev. If you need some help with something I could help you. I've been using xampp and it is garbage :D +1 request, redis maybe

[electronfriends]

Redis was already suggested but there was no official Windows support then, not sure how it is now. But I would like to keep Wemp minimal.

The original redis has no official windows support. But I think i was running:

Other project

I understand the minimalistic approach. Maybe it would be possible then create something like addon ? aka you can create own config, something like service.redis.cfg and have required stuff like what to run where to find it etc. That would give possibility for people to add own stuff. For example I like running pocket base for some projects. But yeah thats just an idea

I've decided to stick with the tray menu for now, so I'm closing this.

New update will follow as soon as phpMyAdmin has fixed the problems with PHP 8.4.
