Finally finished building my first software application
I had to figure out how to add custom ico files to the .exe, window title bar etc.
Instead of trying to create a custom logo, I took the lazy route. I found a unique font, installed it into word, used one big ass letter and turned it into an icon
I downloaded Inno Setup Compiler so I can create an install package, but I'm going to wait. I'm creating a paid version of this, plus I got 5 other project builds, not including the website. I'm going to build one more project (2 depending on how fast I can complete the next one), then form an LLC.
Building software is definitely more intricate than building a website. My struggle tech startup is loosely in the data security space which I knew nothing about before I started. The hardest part of this first build was experimenting with different tech stacks that work. Golang + Wails + Svelte was the best one so far. Golang performs almost as good as C++ and Wails + Svelte allows you to create modern UI. And Svelte is super lightweight. When I used Python to build a less complex app, it was like 400 mb. This app is only 40 mb.
