# Nexus Polestar
A template replacement for FalixNodes Desktop.

___
## Getting started
## What was FalixNodes Desktop?
FalixNodes Desktop was developed by Korbs Studio, a FalixNodes Limited contractor. It was intended for its desktop customers to use FalixNodes more quickly and conveniently by allowing them to easily access both the client and game panels presented by FalixNodes. The capabilities of how the software works have progressed over time, and improved performance and security practices have been put in place to make the customer experience more efficient and trustworthy.
To make it easy for you to get started with GitLab, here's a list of recommended next steps.
Sadly, the software was [discontinued by Korbs Studio on November 19th of 2022](https://falixnodes.net/blog/sunsetting-apps/).
Already a pro? Just edit this README.md and make it your own. Want to make it easy? [Use the template at the bottom](#editing-this-readme)!
This is a bit of a disappointed, as some major features were being applied to v4 of FalixNodes Desktop, which remained in development for way over a year and never reached production. This forth major version was suppose to get amazing features like built-in SFTP manager, VPN(This was drop either way, requested by FalixNodes Limited CEO), better system optimizations, and a command menu. One of the feature did that come to light and was finished during the development phase was the command menu powered by Ninja Keys.

From the blog post about this matter:
```
cd existing_repo
git remote add origin http://code.korbsstudio.com/KorbsStudio/nexus-polestar.git
git branch -M main
git push -uf origin main
```
> Final thoughts from the developer: I've enjoyed creating and making updates to both FalixNodes Desktop and FalixNodes App for desktop and mobile over the years for the company, it's sad to sunset these apps, but I don't have time anymore for these and no longer movivation to continue forward. Thanks to FalixNodes Desktop, I've gained a lot more experience and knowledge in the ElectronJS framework and how to work in it, and create amazing things; and thanks to FalixNodes app which allowed me to learn about mobile development using a framework like React Native and getting to know the workflow behind Expo. While I'm not going to be working on our applications anymore, I will still be working at FalixNodes Limited as our website developer for our homepage.
## Integrate with your tools
## Then Why the Template?
Well, it's come to my attention after many emails from other companies, even after being discontinued, they have forked the project and are using this for their customers. So, I created this template for them and for more to come, as I don't want these companies using outdated source code.
- [ ] [Set up project integrations](http://code.korbsstudio.com/KorbsStudio/nexus-polestar/-/settings/integrations)
So, here is Nexus Polestar, a template they can build their desktop app on top of for their customers, to replace the old source code from FalixNodes Desktop.
## Collaborate with your team
## What's the Difference?
While FalixNodes Desktop has always been constructed using vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as primitive code from 4 years ago and older to still navigate and add additional settings, Nexus Polestar will be developed with Astro, as well as SCSS and more modernized scripts for features such as navigating and additional settings.

# Editing this README
When you're ready to make this README your own, just edit this file and use the handy template below (or feel free to structure it however you want - this is just a starting point!). Thank you to [makeareadme.com](https://www.makeareadme.com/) for this template.
## Suggestions for a good README
Every project is different, so consider which of these sections apply to yours. The sections used in the template are suggestions for most open source projects. Also keep in mind that while a README can be too long and detailed, too long is better than too short. If you think your README is too long, consider utilizing another form of documentation rather than cutting out information.
## Name
Choose a self-explaining name for your project.
## Description
Let people know what your project can do specifically. Provide context and add a link to any reference visitors might be unfamiliar with. A list of Features or a Background subsection can also be added here. If there are alternatives to your project, this is a good place to list differentiating factors.
## Badges
On some READMEs, you may see small images that convey metadata, such as whether or not all the tests are passing for the project. You can use Shields to add some to your README. Many services also have instructions for adding a badge.
## Visuals
Depending on what you are making, it can be a good idea to include screenshots or even a video (you'll frequently see GIFs rather than actual videos). Tools like ttygif can help, but check out Asciinema for a more sophisticated method.
## Installation
Within a particular ecosystem, there may be a common way of installing things, such as using Yarn, NuGet, or Homebrew. However, consider the possibility that whoever is reading your README is a novice and would like more guidance. Listing specific steps helps remove ambiguity and gets people to using your project as quickly as possible. If it only runs in a specific context like a particular programming language version or operating system or has dependencies that have to be installed manually, also add a Requirements subsection.
## Usage
Use examples liberally, and show the expected output if you can. It's helpful to have inline the smallest example of usage that you can demonstrate, while providing links to more sophisticated examples if they are too long to reasonably include in the README.
## Support
Tell people where they can go to for help. It can be any combination of an issue tracker, a chat room, an email address, etc.
## Roadmap
If you have ideas for releases in the future, it is a good idea to list them in the README.
## Contributing
State if you are open to contributions and what your requirements are for accepting them.
For people who want to make changes to your project, it's helpful to have some documentation on how to get started. Perhaps there is a script that they should run or some environment variables that they need to set. Make these steps explicit. These instructions could also be useful to your future self.
You can also document commands to lint the code or run tests. These steps help to ensure high code quality and reduce the likelihood that the changes inadvertently break something. Having instructions for running tests is especially helpful if it requires external setup, such as starting a Selenium server for testing in a browser.
## Authors and acknowledgment
Show your appreciation to those who have contributed to the project.
## License
For open source projects, say how it is licensed.
## Project status
If you have run out of energy or time for your project, put a note at the top of the README saying that development has slowed down or stopped completely. Someone may choose to fork your project or volunteer to step in as a maintainer or owner, allowing your project to keep going. You can also make an explicit request for maintainers.
By using Astro, I can make the template more component based, allowing for more flexiblity for other developers at these other companies.
