Devlog 7 – It Actually Works!
This was one of the biggest milestones for the project.The first major task was converting the app from a regular website into a full Electron desktop application. I’d never built an Electron app before, so this was completely new territory.

I spent a lot of time reading documentation, troubleshooting errors, and figuring out how everything fit together.

One of the first problems I ran into was my Node.js version. I was still using Node 20, but Electron required a newer version, so I upgraded everything to Node 22. After that, I finally got the app launching successfully.

Then I hit another challenge. The screen-sharing method I had been using in Chrome relied on Chrome’s built-in sharing APIs, but those don’t work the same way in Electron. Instead of trying to force it to work, I built a completely new system that can capture your screen directly inside the desktop app.

The Biggest Feature - AI Debugging This is by far the biggest feature I’ve added so far.

The app now works across your entire computer instead of being limited to a single browser tab. No matter what you’re working on, you can instantly ask the AI for help.

There are two shortcuts
Shift + Enter – Instantly captures your screen and sends it to the AI for analysis.
Ctrl + Shift + Enter – First asks what’s wrong so you can provide extra context, then captures your screen and sends both the screenshot and your description to the AI.

The best part is that everything gets added to the conversation’s context, so you can continue asking follow-up questions without having to explain everything again.This makes debugging incredibly fast. Instead of taking screenshots, uploading them, and re-explaining the problem every time, you just press a shortcut and the AI immediately understands what you’re looking at.
