display tutorials in a view

[orangecms]

Currently, the app doesn't tell much itself how to use the board etc. We have some views showing the front and back.

Idea: Add an entry to the menu to shows the tutorials from docs.pslab.io :)

@orangecms hey, I would like to work on this issue can you please elaborate about it a little. showing example image on how you want it to look like would be a great help

[orangecms]

Sure :) A simple way to go about this is to render an iframe and embed the docs page in it. There is a menu (the burger menu on the top left) where you can add the navigation entry. The other option is to open a new window, like the "Buy PLSab" entry does.

@orangecms thanks for the explaination. I will start working on it . Can you please assign it to me.

@orangecms Sir while running the application using npm start I get the following error can you please help me out in figuring what the issue really is. I have tried uninstalling and installing node again but it still didn't work

What's your OS? How did you set up npm?

[ritik307]

@orangecms I was running the code on windows. I forked and cloned the repo as I already have nodejs installed so I executed npm start command to run the application in the pslab-desktop folder.

[orangecms]

Okay, @Abhijay007 is also having trouble with the setup on Windows.

I suggest running the two scripts that are run through concurrently separately, just manually. So, in one terminal, npm run react-start, and in another, npm run electron-start.

[orangecms]

If the two of you can figure out a fix for the setup on Windows, that would also be great to share with others. Feel free to open issues here and post details on your setup; i.e., how exactly you installed Node and npm, what your PATH looks like, whether you use WSL or possibly WSL 2, how you set that up, and so on. It is a bit complex on Windows, unfortunately; sorry for the mess.

ok @orangecms sir, we will try to solve this error together

@orangecms sir I have tried running the application with npm run react-start and npm run electron-start in different WSL terminals but it's still showing error

@ritik307, I am getting this same error

[orangecms]

I have created #663 so that you can keep the discussion there, since this issue here is not related and about the tutorials view.
