Bumble Electron

A very small Electron shell that wraps the Bumble web app so you can keep it next to the rest of your desktop messengers.

Features

Loads the official Bumble web experience at https://bumble.com/get-started inside a dedicated window.
Blocks unexpected navigation (drag-and-drop or pop-out windows open in your default browser).
Single-instance enforcement so app links/notifications focus the already running window.
Pre-configured permissions for microphone, camera, geolocation, and notifications to match the needs of voice/video calls.

Getting Started

Install dependencies once:
```
npm install
```
Launch the desktop app:
```
npm start
```
Log in with your Bumble account right from the window that appears.

The project uses Electron only; no build step is required. If you want the window back after closing (macOS), use the dock icon or rerun npm start.

Window behavior

Clicking the close button now just minimizes the window so Bumble keeps running in the background.
Use Cmd+Q (macOS) or Ctrl+Q (Windows/Linux) to quit the app completely.

Build a Desktop Binary

Electron Builder is preconfigured for macOS, Windows, and Linux. To create unsigned binaries for your current platform:

npm run build

Artifacts land in dist/. When building on macOS without a valid signing identity (or if you need to skip signing), set CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false before running the build.

Packaging Notes

The default build outputs (mac .app, Windows installer via NSIS, Linux AppImage/Deb) are defined in package.json#build. Adjust that section if you need different targets or want to point at alternative icons/resources.
