Hey Sai.

Tried it out in MacOS and here's two bug report :

first bug:

  1. Click on the "new project button"
  2. Try to upload a package.json file using the "upload project file" button
  3. The "Save project" button won't work.

The package.json drag & drop works though !

second bug:

Trying to quit the app closes the window but the app is somewhat still running; I had to force quit to completely stop it.

I hope you have fun building this tool :)

Did you try closing it either from the app name menu in the top bar, or by right-clicking the app icon on the dock? This is standard behavior in Electron MacOS apps (and many MacOS apps in general), where clicking the red X only closes that window.

I'm always using keyboard shortcuts. So CMD+Q

The closing has to do with Ten Hands come with exiting disabled by default if any tasks are running in background to prevent accidentally closing.

In config.json file, could you please try adding
{ hideToTrayOnClose: false}

The config file is available at ~.ten-hands\config.json or in the Configuration option in the edit menu also will open it in default editor.

Ok I see :) I'm really more used in using the terminal so I'm not your target user but I wish you success nonetheless !
