Boomer

Zoomer application for Linux.

• Development is done on https://twitch.tv/tsoding
• Archive of the streams: https://www.twitch.tv/collections/HlRy-q69uBXmpQ

WARNING! The application is in an active development state and is not even alpha yet. Use it at your own risk. Nothing is documented, anything can be changed at any moment or stop working at all.

Quick Start

$ nix-shell   # only for NixOS
$ nimble build -d:release
$ ./boomer

NixOS Overlay

$ git clone git://github.com/tsoding/boomer.git /path/to/boomer
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays
$ cd ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays
$ ln -s /path/to/boomer/overlay/ boomer
$ nix-env -iA nixos.boomer

Experimental Live Update

See issue #26. For an experimental Live Update feature compile the application with the following flags:

$ nimble build -d:live

The feature is really unstable and experimental, so use it at your own risk.
