Welcome to all new visitors!

This project is still very new and the team is still working hard on a number
of areas of the whole project. That includes the website, package repository and
GitHub organisation as well as the editor itself.

The below is just some items that we are currently working on that might answer
any questions you have at this early stage of the project.

### Downloads and Releases

We are constantly working on the editor and maintain both a rolling release and regular release model for our binaries.
You can find out more about the difference and download a binary of Pulsar by following [this link](https://pulsar-edit.dev/download.html)
We are constantly working on the editor and maintain both rolling and regular releases.
You can find out more about the differences and download Pulsar on our [downloads page](https://pulsar-edit.dev/download.html)
and following the instructions.

We are looking to support distro repositories such as Debian/Ubuntu repos,
Fedora, Snap, Flatpak, Arch/AUR etc. but we need to get to a good point with
a stable release before we instigate that so for now the downloadable binaries
are the main supported downloads.
### App Updates

### Automatic Updates
Currently Pulsar does not support automatic app updates. There are, however, automated notifications of new versions,
which include links and instructions so you can easily get the new versions when they come out. (These notifications can be disabled if you wish.)
Beyond that, new versions can be obtained via the Download links here on our website, or from our CI (continuous integration) pages as explained on our Download page.

Currently Pulsar does not support automatic updates. What this means is that new
versions will have to be obtained via the Cirrus CI or Download links here on
our website. This is something on our roadmap to change as soon as possible.
### Blog

For updates on the _goings-on_ around here, please do check out our [blog](https://pulsar-edit.dev/blog/)!

### Packages

One of our first and biggest tasks was to replace the closed source Atom.io
package repository with our own so that users would still be able to download
from the huge package ecosystem

Currently searching and downloading from the [package repository](https://web.pulsar-edit.dev/)
is fully functional but other functions for maintaining packages such as
publishing/updating/deleting are in beta. Feel free to publish and update your packages, but if you experience any issues please feel free to report this to the Pulsar Team.

### Pulsar

The releases do seem to be working for most people and use cases but if you
have any problems then please do let us know in one of our [community areas](https://pulsar-edit.dev/community.html)
or as a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2Ctriage&template=bug-report.yml)

#### Known Issues
from the huge package ecosystem.

- macOS Performance: Currently performance on MacOS isn't what we hope to
achieve. Often times this can be resolved by disabling the `github` package.
Searching and downloading from the [package repository](https://web.pulsar-edit.dev/) is now fully supported,
as is publishing/updating/deleting packages. If you experience any issues, please feel free to report this to the Pulsar Team.

### Logos, branding and website design
### Support and Community

You may notice a lot of inconsistencies with colors, logos and general website
design. We are very aware of this but our main focus is getting everything
functional first and sort out the design later as the Atom sunset is fast
approaching.
We are still waiting on a finalized design for the branding (color schemes,
final logo colors etc.) so most of what you see are just placeholders and will
likely be updated shortly - the website design will then follow.
If you have any problems when using Pulsar, then please do let us know in one of our [community areas](https://pulsar-edit.dev/community.html)
or as a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2Ctriage&template=bug-report.yml).
