开源软件介绍(OpenSource Introduction)：

Hyperspace is a client for Mastodon and the fediverse written in React and TypeScript. It aims to provide a clean, simple, and fun interface for interacting with Mastodon instances. Currently, Hyperspace works on the web as a static site, on desktop via Electron, and on mobile devices as a progressive web app*.

Note: *Progressive web app support is currently experimental. Not all features may render or work correctly. PWA support may not work on Android.

Building from source

To get the packages and environment set up, run npm install. Most commands and scripts derive from create-react-app and should be easy enough to use.

npm install
npm run build

Building desktop versions

If you wish to build the desktop versions of Hyperspace, it is recommended to run build-electron instead of npm run build. This will build for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Alternatively, you can run any of these commands to build for your specific platform:

• build-electron-darwin - build only for macOS
• build-electron-win - build only for Windows
• build-electron-linux - build only for Linux distributions (AppImage, deb, snap)
• build-electron-linux-select -- <package type> - where <package type> is rpm,deb, or appimage to build the specific package type

Note: Ensure you have code-signing certificates ready. electron-builder should automatically detect them and code-sign your apps for you.

In addition, if you plan on creating versions for the Mac App Store, ensure that you have a provisioning profile and entitlements/info property list in the electron folder.

Deploying to the Web

To run Hyperspace from a website, download either the static files or build from source and then upload them to your hosting server.

Modules used

Hyperspace makes use of the following modules and components to make it as fluffy as possible:

• megalodon - the handler for Mastodon API calls
• office-ui-fabric-react - React components from Microsoft that offer Modern/Fluent design
• @uifabric/icons - icon pack that goes with Fabric UI
• moment - for date formatting
• node-sass - for compiling the Sass files needed
• electron - for making the desktop versions
• emoji-picker-react - for adding an emoji picker

Licensing

The Hyperspace project itself is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, though some components are licensed under other free-software licenses such as the MIT License and GNU GPL.
