-### prerequisites:
+### Prerequisites:
-vscode or something similar, get it from here https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Electron-for-windows-7
+- [VSCode](https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/vscode-for-windows-7) or anything similar (optional but recommended)
+- [NodeJS 16](https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.20.2/node-v16.20.2-x64.msi) - Yes, it's outdated, we just didn't have the time to update the project to a more recent version.
+- [The special Electron](https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Electron-for-windows-7)
 
-nodejs 16, one day this will work with more modern nodejs, its just that theres no point in updating it now.
+### Building
-
-### how2build
 1. clone or download this repository
-2. you open a terminal in vscode, and type the following commands
+
+```https://git.randomserver.top/legacytard-association/converse.rs.git```
+
+2. Open a terminal in VSCode, and type the following commands
 
 ```npm i```
 
 ```$(npm bin)/electron-rebuild```
 
-(Windows 10+ users) To run, use the following command
+3. To build this into an asar, you run this command
-
-```npm start```
-
-If you are wondering why you can only test this on windows 10 without packaging, it is because [electron added ESM support in electron 28](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron-28-0#highlights), not 22.
-
-If you happen to be a windows 8.1 and under user, you can still test this, but you have to package the build using electron-builder, just run the following:
 
 ```npx electron-builder```
 
-get yourself a copy of [the special electron](https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Electron-for-windows-7) , after that go into the dist > win-unpackaged > resources, grab the asar file, and put it in [your special electron](https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Electron-for-windows-7) (same thing, except it's in that one's resources folder)
+After that,
+
+- Go to dist > win-unpackaged > resources in your app's build.
+- Copy the .asar file you find there.
+- Paste it into the resources folder of the special Electron (replacing its existing .asar if needed).
+
+
+4. Testing a build without packaging into an asar (Windows 10+ only)
+
+```npm start```
+
+If you are wondering why you can only test this on windows 10 without packaging, it is because [electron added ESM support in electron 28](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron-28-0#highlights), not 22. RS Desktop uses ESM, not CommonJS.
+
+If you happen to be a windows 8.1 and under user, you can still test this, but you have to package it into an asar everytime, as seen in step 3.
+
+### Good luck building RS Desktop, fellow developers =)

-Sadly, you do have to package the asar everytime, but oh well, it's whatever at the very least you can build on your OS
