Upstream

Upstream is a cross-platform desktop client for the Radicle code collaboration protocol.

At the moment we support Linux and macOS. Latest packages for these platforms are available on the Radicle website.

Windows support is considered experimental at this stage -- we don't provide packages for this platform, so you'll have to build it from source.

The UI is written in JavaScript using Svelte and Electron and the node proxy logic is implemented in Rust.

A good entry point for exploration is development.md, where you'll find information on how to build Upstream from source.

If you're looking to contribute, take a look at contributing.md to learn about the different ways that we accept contributions.
