Goofy

Goofy is a macOS client for Facebook Messenger. But unlike most other clients, it does not use any of Facebook's APIs, but is basically a single-site browser that injects a little CSS and JS into messenger.com to make it a little more app-like.

Feature requests and contributing

Feel free to create issues on this repo for feature requests of any kind. However, some features may not be possible due to the way this application is working. Also, I don't want this to be a feature bloated monster, but a slick and small app. Goofy uses goofy-core as a submodule.

Depending on the number of contributors and the progress of this app, I will schedule releases from time to time, which will then be distributed on goofyapp.com and via Sparkle.

Building and debugging

Clone the repository along with submodules.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/danielbuechele/goofy.git

If you've already cloned the repository, you can easily clone the submodules:

cd goofy
git submodule update --init --recursive

Install all dependencies and run the app:

npm i && npm start

The developer tools will open automatically when running in development mode. You can also toggle them from the menu View - Toggle Developer Tools or by using CMD + ALT + I.

Common errors

If you're getting the following error when running npm start you're probably missing goofy-core, be sure to clone the submodules along with the main repository.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'app/src/config/env.json'
