Upgrade to Wails v3, mobile clients, and docs overhaul - #1
Merged
Conversation
Migrate the desktop app to Wails v3 (application services, Event.Emit, dialog API, data-file-drop-target) and keep Linux on gtk3/webkit2gtk 4.1. Add App API integration tests before the upgrade so transfers, settings, and event wiring keep working across the cutover.
wails3 dev builds with DEV=true and expects npm run build:dev for unminified frontend assets during hot reload.
Switch the chrome to a bottom tab bar below 720px with safe-area insets and larger touch targets so the same React UI works on phones and Wails mobile webviews. Scaffold build/ios and build/android (bundle id com.schollz.croc-desktop), platform option hooks, and Taskfile mobile tasks for simulator/emulator builds.
Honest post-upgrade cleanup: document gtk3 tags and data-path compatibility, one-shot migrate legacy croc-gui settings/history onto croc-desktop filenames, fix MSIX config and Android applicationId, drop dead iOS option stubs and leftover wailsjs, and align README, design.md, and e2e docs with the responsive mobile shell.
Lead with install, how-to, features, and FAQ; tuck developer setup behind a collapsible section. Add Contributor Covenant 2.1 for community norms.
Call out that this tree is Wails v3 (not v2), and give mobile iOS/Android a first-class section with paths, status, and build commands so they are not buried in the FAQ.
