how long it will take ?
can we build it for linux?

[imbev]

Packaging-wise, please build as a Flatpak (https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/) and publish to the Flathub store (https://flathub.org/)

The other Linux packaging formats are either distribution-specific (rpm, deb, snap) or unreliable (appimage).

If you need help, I could contribute.

Good to know. I don't know much about the Linux ecosystem.

Tauri has guide on flatpak(https://v2.tauri.app/distribute/flatpak), so I don't think we have problem with distribution.

Few things to do:

• Make app at least "running".(https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) Never tested on Linux. We might need to update https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote/blob/main/.cargo/config.toml.
• Implement Speaker capture for Linux(https://github.com/fastrepl/hyprnote/blob/main/crates/audio/src/speaker/linux.rs). Should be straightforward, using alsa-rs.

+1. Happy to test

yeah, I would help to test as well, as hyprnote is open source, I guess most tools it uses are already open source and available to linux like alsa, whisper or llama, perhaps the UI needs to be rewritten if it is using some mac-specific framework.

I would also be interested in testing this on Linux. I've done a few experiments with note taking and so far am still finding manual notes work better for me than AI but I saw your post on Hackernews and I'm interested.

Any updates on flathub?

I guess the Detectors have to be adjusted as well.
At least there is only a stub for windows and none at all for Linux.

I created a branch, where I added also installation notes (what worked for me) and modifications to the source code to make the compilation work:

can i use WSL instead for the linux installation?
