A simple, cross-platform desktop wrapper for Google Messages Web with support for tray, notifications, persistent settings, icon themes, auto-updates, and settings backup. For Windows, Linux, and OS X. Other great repositories exist but this was one I developed using AI as I learn node code.

• Auto-launch & tray support
• Desktop notifications
• Custom tray icons
• Persistent settings (window size, theme, etc.)
• Backup & restore settings
• GitHub-based auto-updater
• Multi-platform builds: Windows (OS X and Linux builds in progress)
• NOTE: These packages are NOT signed. I don't have the resources to add code signing. However I'm open to adding this feature if resources allow.
