Can you please point to the documentation for NW.js that states that this is supported and will not stop working with the very next update of NW.js?
Also, I think that a majority of users will not want to install a git client and learn git in order to use openLRSng, I think we should look for a simpler way of getting this to work.

@mikeller let's get this suggestion in as long as there is no better way |
|
@universam1: Care to explain why 'there is no better way'? |
|
@mikeller I don't see anyone presenting "a better" way since months, so this is logically the "best" way as of now. |
|
@universam1: I really fail to see how requiring users to install git, learn how to use github, and then apply a hack that may or may not work should be better than using this as a Chrome web app as long as this is supported. Maybe you can explain why this would be? |
|
@mikeller The Chrome web app is outdated in this regard that MULTI protocol is not supported so not an option. |
|
@universam1: You got a point there - I started working on making 3.9 into a fully featured standalone application, including update checks and downloading of the firmware from the internet (older versions come with whatever firmware version is the current one baked in). Then I got busy with Betaflight and this did not go anywhere - this was in 2018, and you are he first one to ask for this specifically, so it does not look like there is a lot of demand for it. |
|
@mikeller that would be amazing - personally I got a bunch of OLRS stuff I like to continue using. Happy to test if you need - your Multiprotocol extension I'd love to switch to actually given the support in TX firmwares now |
|
@universam1: See openLRSng/openLRSng#230 (comment), there is one bug that has to be fixed to make the latest version releasable. |

Awesome- thanks I could confirm this 🐛 |

You don't have to install Git, you can just download the zip file. |
