Installation

Development
Nimble 2 uses Create React App along with Electron. You are advised to use
yarn to install dependencies (npm i -g yarn ).
Clone the repository to a local workspace, like so:
Once you have cloned the repository, you will need to setup your own local .env file. This file contains the environment variables used to authenticate with the Wolfram|Alpha® server(s), and other important services.
You can start by copying the
sample.env file to .env (cp sample.env .env ). Then you will need to locate your Wolfram|Alpha® API key and add it to the .env file.
Next you will need to install the dependencies necessary to develop & run Nimble. If you went ahead and installed yarn, this process should be relatively quick. (You can also use npm to install the dependencies, but don't expect it to be anywhere near as fast -
npm install .)
Once ready, you can boot up the app in dev mode. This consists of two main tasks; Create React App (CRA), and the Electron process. Please note: CRA automatically opens up a browser window pointed to the app, however because Nimble only works as a desktop app, just close the browser window.
You can perform these tasks by running:

Mac: Wolfram Alpha is packed with a ton of great info, but it's easy to forget about it sometimes. Nimble is a little menu bar app that will stuff that search engine into your Mac's menu bar.Nimble works pretty much exactly as you'd expect. Just click the menu bar icon (or tap Command+Shift+=), type in your search and Nimble dishes out the result in a small window. As far as we could tell, Nimble can handle pretty much anything you'd normally throw at Wolfram Alpha, including simple questions and maths problems that require graphs.
