Pls add guide for "Normies"

[oneofthehorses]

Hi!

First of all Thank You for this brilliant work!

Is it possible to add guide in the description of project for "normies" like me, how to set things up and see GUI to work with after downloading archive and unpack it?

Have a good day!

P.S. I can draw vector logo for your program if you'd like :)

as any rust zealot seems is only for thems.. XD

@mckaygerhard I'm sorry that this "rust zealot" cannot provide 24/7 support for an open-source app I developed in my free time.

Anyways, @oneofthehorses - what kind of guide would you be looking for? Would a step-by-step guide on how to set everything up from downloading the executable to first encryption help?

Also a logo would be pretty neat, I am not the best when it comes to graphics design, and the default icon is not the most beautiful :)

I think, the first step should also be providing executable downloads, I will try to look into creating automatic builds.

To get what i mean i get awesome help from chat\forum so script was next :)

In the terminal of the main PC (NOT THE CONTAINER):
sudo apt-get install subman
podman run --rm -it docker.io/library/debian:sid-slim

In a terminal container (NOT PC):

apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential Cargo clang-14 cmake git libatk1.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtkd-3-dev libpango1.0-dev pkg-config
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Twometer/hyperbacked
CD with hyperback
sed -i '/bardecoder/s/0.4/=0.4.0/' Cargo.toml
cargo assembly

In the terminal of the main PC (NOT THE CONTAINER):
podman cp NAME_OF_CONTAINER:/hyperbacked/target/debug/hyperbacked /tmp

P.S. to find out the container run name: podman ps

If we could see your program in .deb package, AppImage or something like that easy to integrate in Linux systems would be p.e.r.f.e.c.t.! :)

rude but seems my comment has a good consequence.. not the fully desired but valid for mortals.. and, lest remmembered that DOCUMENTATION IS THE KEY OF A GREAT PROJECT

Hello @Twometer

The project has been getting a lot of attention lately, are there any plans to continue its development? It is currently a Pre-release (alpha).

I could also design a logo for you if you want to. Does it have to be a svg or png?

I also found https://github.com/httpjamesm/ScatterSafe which had the same motive of this project.

Hi @jermanuts ,

Thanks for the links, I actually didn't know that there was so much interest in the project :)

I plan on continuing work on hyperbacked, the next release will focus on making it easier to install (currently you need the Rust Toolchain and build it that way) and fixing compatibility bugs. I have internally tested GitHub Actions snd hope to use it to automatically package releases for Windows, Linux and macOS.

If you'd like to design a logo, that would be much appreciated. The icon can be either svg or png, I can convert both into the formats required by iced.

@Twometer let me know what you think

EDIT: I realized that there are some red pixel at the edges in the initial one, here is a fixed version.

[Twometer]

@jermanuts Sorry for the long response delay, I've been sick...

The logo looks pretty cool :) I'll import it later and see how it scales into icons etc.
