Looks interesting from the screenshots. However after downloading on Mac, I get

"Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes/slate/manifest.json'"

and

"Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes'"

errors.

Also, just a bit of feedback, your developer name on the app store is a bit sketchy <random digits> Canada Inc.

Thanks for the bug report yuppiepuppie! Will roll out a fix for that one asap. By the way the app is available on Windows, MacOS and Linux, so all feedback across platforms is very welcome!

About the developer name, we tried to get Apple to use our "doing business as" name, but no dice. But thanks, it's very important to know what the first impressions are, to remove friction as much possible.

Kudos to PRSS Site Creator, I like the idea and I installed it on my mac. As soon as the app starts I get this error, Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes' how can I fix it? thanks

If I go ahead and create a post I get "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes/slate/manifest.json'"

Oh man, that's embarrassing. Is this with the Mac App Store (MAS) version, or the standalone MacOS "Universal" (dmg) one? Looking into it, I will push a new build soon.

Update: I pushed a new UX build, hopefully that addresses it, but otherwise let me know! I added the support email in my profile.

I actually cannot see the issue in my Mac Mini with the App Store build. So any more details would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

This seemed like something I came across in r/WordPress discussion on Reddit. The problem here is that it's only for Mac, while we have a cross-platform solution.

PRSS indeed is available on Windows, MacOS and Linux! However I spend most of the time on Windows, so bugs on the other platforms sometimes are caught later on.

Will keep a closer eye on all versions, any startup bugs are a no-no. Hope you get to try it and share your feedback!
