Drifty Capture for Windows Machine

[hasnainmakada-99]

Hey @SaptarshiSarkar12 Can I include this windows capture where I explain how to download the drifty GUI and use it inside the windows machine

Here's the video

Drifty.Capture.mp4

[SaptarshiSarkar12]

@hasnainmakada-99 Yes, you can include that. Please trim the video from 0:25 and fast forward the downloading part (from 0:54).
I would suggest you to record the whole portion in two parts -

• First one will be that you are going to download the file (You can only share the browser window to OBS and it will record what's happening in the browser window.) You should also fast forward the portion of the video in which you are showing the progress of the download of the executable.
• Second one will be opening the app and showing the usage of the Application.

At last, you can merge the two - and tada 🎉! It's done 🥳!

Hey @SaptarshiSarkar12 I need your help brother,

I am currently done with the getting started and quick Start guide

and I am going to work on the FaQs readme, so I would like to know what are some of the most common questions which the community has and will you help me curate that

[SaptarshiSarkar12]

@hasnainmakada-99 The most asked question in the community is how to setup the project (both Website and Java code in IDE) in their local environment. I think this can be included in other sections because they are going to be a lengthy guide. What do you think?

Some questions I remember are 👇

1. Why does Drifty GUI not open in my Windows machine?
   ➡️ Your Windows machine needs to have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed on your machine. You can download and install it from its official download page.

2. Which IDE should I use for opening Drifty App code in my local environment?
   ➡️ You can use any IDE you like but, it is recommended to use IntelliJ Idea. You can use the free Community version of IntelliJ Idea if you do not have a JetBrains subscription.

3. How can I get updates on this project?
   ➡️ You can join our Discord server to get updates on the project. You can also watch this repository by clicking on the watch button here and select the notification types to All Activity to get all updates on this project.

4. What technologies does Drifty use?
   ➡️ The technologies that Drifty uses are 👇

• Java - for Drifty Application (both CLI and GUI)
• JavaFX - for Drifty's GUI part only
• Docker - for containerizing the Application to provide public access to beta features
• Next.Js - for building the Drifty's Website

5. How can I contribute to Drifty?
   ➡️ You can check the Contribution section of this docs to learn how to contribute to this project.

6. How can I update Drifty to the latest version?
   ➡️ Currently, automatic updates are not supported and is a Work-In-Progress. So, you need to download the latest executable from the website and install it accordingly.

7. How can I access the Beta features in Drifty?
   ➡️ Currently, Beta features are available only through Docker images. You can check the docs (@hasnainmakada-99 the link for this need to be added). Please provide feedback on them by creating a new Discussion here.
