Awesome that you decided to continue the development of Squirrel. We use it in all our products, and we'd like to start the process of migrating as soon as possible 💃.
Also we'd like to contribute our application.restarter implementation (a separate executable) that uses ipc restarting target application after a successfully applied update. It's ready on our myget feed, and if you want i could provide a PR demonstrating said functionality.

Is this channel still active? Wagon engineers would love to join!

@anaisbetts is this still a thing? I think I've still got the admin bit to be able to invite people, and I think this could be a bit more prominent in the repository to help bring peeps together...

@shiftkey I have a cross-platform drop in replacement of squirrel that supports Windows and Linux. It has offline and a web installer as well. It uses myget (any nuget server v2/v3) is supported. This way you never have to store any packages locally. It also supports channels in the same way chrome does (think Canary etc). I have been planning to open source it for a while but haven’t had the time to write up the docs. If you want to contribute I will release it under the MIT license.

Oh btw, its production ready as its used commercially in our company products.

@peters for the moment I'd like to focus on Squirrel.Windows because there's a lot of existing usage of it that depends on ongoing maintenance work.
peters commentedon Apr 24, 2019
@shiftkey That’s fair!☺️ But if you find the time let me know because feature wise its basically a clone except its written from scratch and has 400+ unit tests.

With the advent of GitHub Discussions, we have a public forum that is also internet searchable. Feel free to discuss Squirrel there.
