red's Issues

Red does not open YouTube Music anymore

A couple of months ago it was working well, but now when I click on the YouTube Music button nothing happens.

It's just another browser and freeze my slow system like a browser. But i want to see videos without lagged JS application in browser. How can i switch off this browser and just view videos in native interface?

Flatpak :)

Seems like a fantastic package you made there, would you mind porting it to flatpak or release it before packaging it as snap so someone else could port it?

Cannot run in Manjaro Linux KDE latest release

Hello there,

I wanted to give a try to your newest release of Red-app in my Manjaro Linux Kde (updated to latest release). I checked all dependencies requested in terminal, also checked libxcb plugins( installed) and gtk modules dependencies are all installed ( libcanberra modules in multilib packages are installed and appmenu-gtk-module is also installed)
Then running presented a segmentation fault error which I guess it can be as the result of code or denied memory access.. and finally I also tried installing as root user but it was the same situation. Refreshed snap packages and uninstalled and reinstalled them but showed the same bash result.

Can you suggest any other ideas please ?
Keep safe.

windows

When will the app be released for windows?
