Would anyone be interested in me building an Electron option for drag and drop?

[markojak]

I'm pretty visual and sometimes I work with files across different directories, it would be great to be able to have a UI component like a "Dropbox" that you can drag and drop files into which then gets piped into Repomix CLI

Anyone interested?

That would be cool.

Hi, @markojak !
Thanks for the great suggestion!
I understand you're proposing a desktop version of Repomix where users can simply drag & drop folders to generate the output.

Actually, there has been some related discussion about adding folder upload support to the Repomix website:
#219 (comment)

Having a dedicated desktop app would definitely make the iteration process faster and smoother, so I'd love to explore this idea further!

Not sure if I should comment there or here but here's how I would approach it (talking about the user journey combined with the logic)

• Electron binary and builder on package install
• user runs repomix with a --ui flag
• loads the electron binary with a simple always on top drop window
• drag and drop folders and files into the window
• some simple checkboxes
• get a command back you can copy paste into the CLI

@markojak
Ah I see what you mean! Something like this where you can:

1. Drag a folder into the window
2. Select options with checkboxes
3. Get the ready-to-use repomix command generated below

I put together a quick mockup by claude to visualize your idea:

Is this the kind of interface you were thinking of? Let me know if you had a different direction in mind!
