  • npm start will run this menubar app in the background. You can close & exit your Terminal.app window

###Compiling npm build should work and build this for OSX(64bit) in a /dist subdirectory but I did not test. Ensure you have electron-packager (v7.7.0+) available on your system or install it globally with npm install -g electron-packager.

electron-packager . --platform=darwin --icon=Icon --arch=x64 --out=dist PreevApp will compile to your machine. Look inside the dist directory for PreevApp.

I've uploaded a zipped version 0.0.1 of PreevApp to Dropbox.

###How to quit this thing? Click on the menubar item so that the apps window is visible. Use the common shortcut for closing an app. (e.g. CMD+Q on osX/macOS)

###Thank you's Kudos to @electron and @maxogden for his great menubar package - plus of course the people that built & maintain preev.com - you know who you are.
