Is anybody working on it ?

My experience and point of you

I have been trying to start using this tool for the last few days - I failed. There are errors in all starter repos (you have to fix everything on your own just to run examples !). Why is it so buggy ?!

This project has a classic case of just not enough people helping out. I've done a lot of improvements to the foundations over the last year or two, but my time in limited and my primary project is an application.

As for starter projects, I've spent some time this week on a new starter project. The basics are in place and you can have a look at it here: https://github.com/sedwards2009/nodegui-simple-starter

THanks for that @sedwards2009 It has been so frustrating that the starter projects don't build

Hello @sedwards2009 @baradhili , after clone your repo: https://github.com/sedwards2009/nodegui-simple-starter, I can't run npm install on my computer, as I see the problem is:
FetchError: request to https://download.qt.io/online/qtsdkrepository/windows_x86/desktop/qt6_641/qt.qt6.641.win64_msvc2019_64/6.4.1-0-202211101254qtsvg-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-MSVC2019-Windows-Windows_10_21H2-X86_64.7z failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 77.86.162.2:443

Can you please advise how to solve this?

SO this error is that you seem unable to connect to https://download.qt.io maybe try following the link in the error manually?

@baradhili can you please advise which version of node I should use?
