GitHub done, shipping Helyx today!
Today I was messing with the GitHub page for Helyx, fixing the last bugs we found and working on the installer.
For the installer I used Inno Setup, because it is the most recognized and the most used one. The point of using an installer is simple: it adds Helyx to PATH. Of course there were other options, but this one seemed like the best fit. We were fighting with the script for a while, because it was doing really weird things, like staying in the background after the installation finished. But those bugs are fixed now!
README.md is done, all of those GIFs and screenshots are in it too, and I have to say it looks really good! I was also setting up the GitHub side of things, so the description, the tags, a GitHub Action and so on.
With the help of Claude Code, we created the logo and the banner for the installer as well. The installer uses the same logo as Helyx. It’s just a basic H, because nothing else came to mind haha.
I also asked Claude Code to review the codebase one last time, and yep, it looks fine! I told it to add the basic documentation comments as well, the <summary> kind. Let’s be real here, nobody does this, and if they do, something else writes it for them, usually an AI, because it understands the function better than the person who wrote it (I know that from my own experience hahaha).
