basecamp-linux's Introduction

Basecamp Desktop for Linux

Unofficial Basecamp GNU/Linux desktop client built with Electron.

Features

Native notifications
Context menu on links
Basic UI settings
Tray icon
- Unread count badge
- Left click to show / hide app
- Right click for tray menu

The application menu is hidden by default, to show it press the alt key.

Privacy

No information is collected or tracked by the application, Electron however will save some data as with any webview. It is possible to purge that information with an in-app function: menu -> file -> 'Clear data' will erase all stored information and cache (any open session will be lost).

Prerequisites

As any GNU/Linux Electron application libappindicator1 is required for tray icon and libnotify for notifications but most likely they are already installed.

Installation

Download the latest release and extract it on your Applications directory. Run the app by executing the basecamp file.

Optionally copy the desktop file basecamp-linux-*/resources/assets/basecamp.desktop to your launchers dir (e.g. ~/.local/share/applications). Note you'll need to configure it to point to the correct app location and select the icon color (white / black) depending on your desktop color scheme.

Manual build

Required tools:

Node ^19.0.0
Yarn ^3.0.0

Clone this repo, cd to the local copy and run

yarn install

npm run build

That will create a build/basecamp-linux-* directory with the application.

Troubleshooting

If the app fails to open, execute it from a terminal to see any possible trace. If you're getting the error

[...] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

You may need to add the --disable-gpu-sandbox flag when running the app. If you're using the .desktop file just append the flag to the Exec command.

Check the LICENSE file.

I followed the README instructions for downloading from Git and
building the package, but run into the following error.

New Syntax highlighting features are not working in 0.5.1

I noticed that the new syntax highlighting features are not working on Basecamp for Linux 0.5.1 when compared to the web version.

Let me know what extra information you need from me.

Sign-in with Google does not work for me

Hi!

Just wondering if this is just me or if this is a limitation of the app. I tried signing in with Google, which opened a browser tap with a 405 error. I can elaborate more if helpful.

Back button

I have used this app extensively since I found it and it works wonders.

I only find one thing missing and that is the back button that you would otherwise have in a browser.

Have you ever thought about adding it? If I wanted to help with a PR that adds it, could you give me an idea on where to start. I have never used electron before.

Unable/Cannot find electron app

Just wanted to give this project a try but I can't seem to find the application after running the following commands

yarn install

npm run build:64

This the screenshot of after running the following commands:

this isn't working though.. sad.jpg

the applications folder isn't what it used to be - any assistance would be appreciated!

Feature Request : Save login credentials for speedy relaunching

It would be nice for the app to save the login credentials so I don't have to remember 1000 passwords for all my services. My location is reasonably secure and this would be a good feature.

Fails to launch on Ubuntu 22.04

The app immediately closes after opening. Here's the output from the syslog:
