Add autoupdater for seamless version updates #29
Description
Summary
OKCode should include an autoupdater so users automatically receive the latest version without manual intervention.
Motivation
Currently, users must manually check for and install new versions. An autoupdater would:
- Ensure users always have the latest features and bug fixes
- Reduce friction for staying up to date
- Improve the overall user experience
Proposed Approach
- Detect when a new version is available (e.g., by checking GitHub releases or a version endpoint)
- Notify the user that an update is available
- Download and apply the update automatically (or with user confirmation)
- Support rollback in case of a failed update
Considerations
- Platform support: Ensure the updater works across all supported platforms
- User control: Allow users to opt out or configure update frequency
- Security: Verify update integrity (e.g., checksums, code signing)
- Electron integration: If using Electron, consider leveraging
electron-updater/autoUpdater
