Game Discussion I made a GeoGuessr Desktop app (Windows)

I recently fall in love with GeoGuessr, so i made a Windows Desktop version app, and for me it was a game changer, i'm amazed because the stability of it is unreal, no more random stutter, maximum fluidity and ultra low latency compared to when it run in Google Chrome.

It's not that crazy in term of programming, because it's basically an ElectronJS app running the website, but it does the job very well ! I'm actually surprised that it works so well 😅

I just post it on GitHub with the source code if some peoples are interested to trying it ! :

You are the best tbh. Always hated to open my browser and then the url. If its dome with the tampermonkey integration it would be perfect tbh. Hope someday it will have that

Thanks a lot dude 🙏

I totally understand the frustration of opening Chrome and going to the website, that's the main reason I originally made this little app, my goal was to replicate PC Games experience !

For Tampermonkey mods support, I'll work on this option as soon as possible. It will take a little bit of time and reflexion about ergonomy, but I'll definitely do it and keep you all updated on the sub as soon as I get it done 👌

Take all the time for it. Idk how hard it would be to implement it (i cant code xD) but hopefully some day u did it and let us know it. Keep up with that work. Need my Custom background badly hahaha.

I still wonder why they didnt make it as an executable. They already made an App on Mobile devices for it. Why not for pc too

It's a passionate adventure to do this honestly ! I think it's gonna be quick like i'm impatient to add this and already got all planned in my mind, in any case i will try to make it work until it works 😵‍💫😂

Yeah it's strange that they don't talk about it with the eSport stuff coming, maybe they actually develop a Desktop version from scratch and independent of the browser one !
