Android Messages™ Desktop
Run Android Messages as a desktop app, a la iMessage. For those of us that prefer not to have a browser tab always open for this sort of thing.

Important Note 1: We currently have builds for Windows and macOS, and Linux. I test releases on Arch Linux and to a lesser degree Windows. I would love help testing in additional places.
Important Note 2: Neither the MacOS nor the Windows binaries are signed right now. I am willing to add this but I do not have the certificates required at this time.
The code is pretty ugly but getting better every day. Feel free to take a look.
Steps to contribute:
Fork
Clone
Edit
yarn install for dependencies
yarn start to build and run assuming you have electron installed.
Open a pull request when you think it is ready or for feedback during the dev process
The easiest way to get a developer environment up and running is using devenv. It is just node and
yarn though so any install of those should work at the end of the day.
