Hyper is alredy in release state
Few more weekends, few more things done. The difference is that hyper is now ready for a beta release.
I have plans to release the beta within a few days from now.

What's new?

Community repositories: Turns out dragging a zip file is too much work for some people, that's why i made a community repository, where curated extensions/themes can be installed, updated and loaded automatically.

Welcome screen: Something to introduce users was needed badly, always had to lay down instructions for alpha testers... not anymore.

Restarting is not needed anymore: At least not for installing new extensions, themes otherwise...

Universal media detection: Thanks to @nayiomiDEV the Now Playing extension can now detect anything that plays media on windows, unless windows itself can't detect it.

Debug console: Built a new debugging console, this should make the life of people messing with extensions way easier, it's far from perfect, but it helps.

Secret menu: Sometimes we can break the whole bar while making themes or extensions, thinking about that i made it possible to open the secret menu by holding ctrl while right clicking anywhere in the bar. This should allow to quickly enter settings and uninstall/change what is causing the issue. When debug mode is enabled, this should also add options to open the debug console or restart everything.

What's not new?
Let's talk about the bad side of hyper.

Hyper is made with Electron, the same technology behind discord, slack and many other applications you may have installed on your pc right now.

> But if it's so popular, how can it also be a bad thing?
For something that only serves as purpose of a topbar (or entire taskbar, with enough extensions/widgets), hyper comes with the salty price of 70MB of ram.
For a taskbar this is 50mb more than i would want.

I have plans to port hyper to Tauri, reducing this usage by half (or more), but that would require a lot of time and effort that i can't provide in 2021.
