Project description:
"I’ve cloned an open-source desktop application from GitHub and now need it turned into clean, ready-to-install builds that anyone on our local network can grab and run. The source already compiles, but I don’t have the know-how (or the time) to create polished installers or tweak the config so the app behaves identically on both Windows and macOS.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

• Build the project from source, resolve any dependency issues, and produce a signed .exe for Windows and a signed .dmg/.pkg for macOS.
• Configure the build so users can install and launch the app without additional runtimes or command-line steps.
• Make sure both versions can communicate over the same LAN out of the box (service discovery, ports, or a simple “connect to host” screen—whatever fits the codebase).
• Write a concise, step-by-step guide that lets me reproduce the build and deployment process when the repo updates.

You’re free to choose the most sensible tooling—Electron-builder, NSIS, Inno Setup, pkgbuild, GitHub Actions, etc.—as long as the final installers run smoothly on Windows and macOS. If you spot any quick performance or UX wins while you’re in the code, feel free to flag them; I’m open to small improvements that don’t bloat the scope.

All source changes and build scripts should be committed back to a new branch so I can review everything. Once the installers and documentation work on my end, the job is complete." (client-provided description)
