It's the same as the image shows, after I click through every option filling out the mandatory fields, I doesn't show me an option to save it.

The crazy thing is I've done this before, and it had worked flawlessly

This project is amazing. But maybe you have to change the style of the project to fit Desktops.

Please give us the option to disable the indicator, so when you click on the icon's launcher it runs instead of starting it through the indicator menu.

Hello Melvin!

Recently I noticed that in the settings we can't choose which audio device google assistant will get the audio source from and send the audio source to.

Since I got multiple audio devices on my pc I need to change it to the ones I use regularly on almost every program or sometimes I want it to be on specific ones like my VR headset microphone in case I want to know some stuff while using my VR headset.

A small selection drop-down box with all of the user's audio devices and you can choose the one for the microphone and one for the headset will do the job.

Describe the bug
Whenever I launch the app, at every corner, they are not translucent, but white.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'yarn start'
2. See error

Expected behavior
Clear and transparent rounded corners.

I would simply love to be able to change the hotkey to whatever I want. That is all, could not see an option for that. Thank you

Thank you for this tool, this is really great! I got a notification in the window about it being out of date so I followed the instructions and got this error:

Describe the bug
Upon searching for web results, the Google Assistant states results have been found however none are shown.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Activate assistant
2. Search for web results (Ex: "Search for GitHub", "Show me pictures of frogs", "Give me web results for Electron")
3. Google Assistant states results were found
4. No results are shown

Expected behavior
I expect to see a list of websites (including the name, link, and a description) and occasionally embeds containing relevant information or images.

Screenshots

Desktop:

• OS: Windows 10 Home Build 1909

Additional context
I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or a missing feature, sorry. On one hand, I haven't seen anyone else complaining about this, but on the other hand, I haven't seen it stated that this feature isn't currently available anywhere.

Describe the issue
When tapping the microphone button on the UI, it shuts off straight away, however, the assistant 'bing' came up when pressing the mic. When typing to it, a blue loading bar goes halfway on the bottom of the header and shows what I've typed on the top of the window, no output noise or response was given.

Hello,

I really love your app, I have been waiting for a long time to have Google Assistant on Windows 10 and others and your app is just awesome!

My suggestion : Detect operating system language automatically

Thanks !

I installed the google assistant (unofficial client) from the ubuntu software store. the installation was smooth, but when i try to launch the application from my applications menu, it opens a pop up saying that a java error occured in the main process i have attached a screen shot of the pop-up down here. and about my system specificaion, i use ubuntu 20.04.1

Describe the bug
I've just installed by snap command, as the main page says...
When I open it from the tray, it opens normally but i can't send commands, the mic button doesn't work, neither the config button.
the screen is not frozen because the animations works, the close and maximize button works, and the text box works (but not send commands anyaway)
i've opened from the terminal just to see if it has errors, but not relevant, see the screenshot.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open g-assist from terminal or by shortcut
2. launch app from the tray
3. Not working buttons.

Expected behavior
Mic buttons to send commands that i've typed (yes, the type is working)

Hi,
First of all, I want to thank you for this project! I loved it!
I would like to see a light mode option (my Windows theme is set to light).
Furthermore, I know this sounds like nitpicking, but could you update some fonts and formatting? If you ask for the weather, rainy days would be spaced weirdly (see attachment). Also, could you update the font so that it is Google's font everywhere? It would also be nice if you included speech bubbles for the user/Google Assistant's words.

By the way, I don't really want this to sound like nitpicking, but it was just something that bothered me.

Thank you so much!

I would want my google assistant to control my computer to mainly show up web related information on my browser, what i mean is, when i ask simple questions like "where is italy located" the output is just a blank screen and a voice saying "here is what i found from wikipedia" (no info displayed on screen). I want the assistant to open my browser and show up the wikipedia content what was found relevant.

Describe the bug
I tried to build this app on Ubuntu 20.10 for the Raspberry Pi, npm install finished successfully but when running npm start the tray icon appears but nothing else works. clicking on the icon and selecting launch assistant doesn't do anything. I included a screenshot of the terminal output.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. use build instructions with npm on ubuntu 20.10 on a raspberry pi
2. when typing npm start I get a few errors from MESA-LOADER and app doesn't work correctly.

Expected behavior
I expected google assistant to start when clicking on start assistant in the tray icon menu.

Desktop:

• OS: Ubuntu 20.10 for raspberry pi (arm64) on a pi 4b 4gb

Additional context
I tried running the next command in the build instructions (npm run dist) and it errored out, I think because of the errors when running npm start.

Hello,

I really love your app, I have been waiting for a long time to have Google Assistant on Windows 10 and others and your app is just awesome!

My suggestion : Try to find a solution to "surpass" Cortana which is automatically integrated into Windows, so be able to use the "Windows + C" keyboard shortcut which is initially intended for Cortana. And a lot of other things...

Thanks !

Google Assistant officially supports Russian language, but your app isn't. Google Home device supports Russian language too, so it supposed to be inplemented in Google Assistant API.

Describe the bug
The Assistant randomly says "Sorry, there was a problem, please try again later."
Everything goes ok, it responds and a minute after it just says that for no reason.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
It happens time-to-time

Expected behavior
It shouldn't do anything because it successfully completed the task.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use Google Assistant primarily with voice. When I trigger the app with the hotkey, I then need to navigate my mouse in order to click the microphone.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the option to trigger the microphone automatically, allowing me to press a hotkey and begin speaking.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is an option to toggle the microphone when hotkey is triggered - I am unsure what that feature does, and if it is the exact feature I am requesting, but it currently does not do that. The app's behavior does not change if that setting is on or off.

Additional context
This is how I use the product on my mobile devices and Chrome devices. The extra step makes it just as fast as using a Launcher and I'd like to avoid that.

Hello,

I really love your app, I have been waiting for a long time to have Google Assistant on Windows 10 and others and your app is just awesome!

My suggestion : Instead of displaying an error message "Preventing launch: An instance of Google Assistant is already running. Openration Aborted" when trying to open the Google Assistant when it is already open, the shortcut should activate the microphone.

Thanks !

Hello Melvin,
I have compiled packages for linux systems and have uploded them to my fork. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make a pull request for releases (I am new to contributing through GitHub). Please add them from their to your project so that others can simply download and run it.
PS:I have compiled them as appimages and snap package for x86 systems.
Here's the link: https://github.com/ayush06feb/Google-Assistant-Unofficial-Desktop-Client/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the project directory
2. run npm install
3. run npm start
4. The task-bar tray icon is started, however the app does not launch.

Expected behavior
The landing window should pop up.

Hello,

I really love your app, I have been waiting for a long time to have Google Assistant on Windows 10 and others and your app is just awesome!

My suggestion : A simpler login system, I don't know if it's possible, but like other applications or website, use a simple form to log into your Google account, without having to create a project yourself, etc.

Thanks !

after Setting the credential location I am getting this if I ignore this then paste my code then clicking submit does nothing.

Using Linux Kde neon based on ubuntu20.04 installed it via snap

Hello,

I really love your app, I have been waiting for a long time to have Google Assistant on Windows 10 and others and your app is just awesome!

My suggestion : Ultimately, when you have succeeded in activating your application automatically with the sentences "Hey Google" and "Ok Google", take care not to monopolize the microphone. What is a bit annoying is that Windows displays when the mic is in use by an application and in this case since your application is using it all the time I can't tell "easily" when another application is using my mic without my permission. So this Windows option unfortunately loses all meaning.

Thanks !

Describe the feature you'd like
Often I use Electron apps and notice that I can select text. In some cases, this is useful. However, most of the time it just adds to the feeling that I'm using a website, not a native app. This app is similar. I believe that you should not be able to select text in this client to help create a more native feel.

Describe alternatives you've considered
This is, of course, a matter of opinion. Some may prefer the ability to select. Maybe this could even be added as a setting?

I'd be glad to work on this and submit a PR if that'd be helpful!

Can some kind of API be built into this tool, so that users can trigger and send commands to the assistant via an API, such as REST.

I get this when I start Google Assistant on windows

I'm always annoyed how the microphone isn't on when I press the hotkeys (Command+Shift+A)
Describe the solution you'd like
When you press the hotkeys (Command+Shift+A), the microphone turns on automatically so you can speak at it.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Toggle to enable or disable microphone when pressed.

Hello!
If i wanna search or view my google photos, it shows nothing.
I tried the same commands on the phone and they worked fine.
Please fix it!
Thanks! :)

Not really sure if when I press the close button the application stops listening; Just want to clarify. I am pretty paranoid there is always someone listening. Just curious.

Hi, sorry to bother you

Hello,

I really love your app, I have been waiting for a long time to have Google Assistant on Windows 10 and others and your app is just awesome!

My issue : When I activate the option to launch the application at system startup on Windows 10, it does not appear in my system bar at the bottom left. On the other hand, when I add an application shortcut in the start-up folder of my "shell: startup" session, an error appears to show that another instance of Google Assistant has been launched.

So I disabled the option to start your app in its settings and left the shortcut in my start folder and it works just fine like that.

On Linux Mint 20 it works perfectly.

Thanks !

Describe the bug
I tried installing the snap but I got a pop up error textview with boxes on it. When I tried to open the AppImage I got a similar-looking text view but with proper text. As seen here:

I'm using Arch Linux and I've tried the same on XFCE and GNOME environments.

Having a command to launch the assistant like the hotkey is supposed to would allow me to use system hotkeys to activate the assistant, solving #46

A command to launch Google Assistant so that it opens the existing instance when ran. Current commands to run it require a new instance to be launched which takes a long time

Hello,

I really love your app, I have been waiting for a long time to have Google Assistant on Windows 10 and others and your app is just awesome!

My suggestion : Change the application icon, it's a matter of taste, but personally I changed the icon of the shortcut on my task bar to the s-logo of the Google Assistant without a white background.

Is it possible to add an option in the settings to choose between more icons? See adding a box for a custom icon?

Thanks !
