This will create a native wrapper for Redkix including development environments

#for development, without building all versions (nightly, integration, etc.), certification, building the installer, & moving everything each time

Nativefier is a command line tool that allows you to easily create a desktop application for Redkix. The Redkix apps will be wrapped by Electron in an OS executable (.app, .exe, etc.) for use on Windows, OSX and Linux.
Read the API documentation for other command line flags and options that can be used to configure the packaged app.
If you would like high resoulution icons to be used, please contribute to the icon repository!
For Windows Users: Take note that the application menu is automatically hidden by default, you can press alt on your keyboard to access it.
For Linux Users: Do not put spaces if you define the app name yourself with --name, as this will cause problems (tested on Ubuntu 14.04) when pinning a packaged app to the launcher.
You need Wine installed, make sure that wine is in your $PATH.
To support conversion of a .png or .ico into a .icns for a packaged OSX app icon (currently only supported on OSX), you need the following dependencies.
You need XCode installed.
Make sure convert and identify are in your $PATH.
Google Chrome is required for flash to be supported. Alternatively, you could download the PepperFlash Chrome plugin and specify the path to it directly with the --flash flag. See the command line options below for more details.
A template app with the appropriate event listeners and callbacks set up is included in the ./app folder. When the nativefier command is executed, this folder is copied to a temporary directory with the appropriate parameters in a configuration file, and is packaged into an app with Electron Packager.
In addition, I built GitCloud to use GitHub as an icon index, and also the pageIcon fallback to infer a relevant icon from a url.
