Attention electron developers: under no circumstances do I want your entire app in .config.
but please don’t hard-code
~/.configor$HOME/.config. Use theXDG_CONFIG_HOMEenvironment variable, with$HOME/.configas a fallback if it’s not set.Many programming languages have a cross-platform implementation of this built in to their standard library. C# has
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)which uses XDG_CONFIG_HOME on Linux, local AppData on Windows, and whatever is the correct thing on MacOS (not very familiar with how things work on MacOS)It’s still a lot better that creating random .folders per application in your home.
The font in the screenshot makes me angry.
XDG? OpenDesktop? Dunno what that is, time to dump everything into ~/.myawesomeapp
Oh, no. Don’t even make it a hidden folder, it needs to be right there, front and center. And make sure you use a bunch of capital letters in the name, because you’re so fucking important.
Please use
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME(and other XDG base dirs)
