@zarfeblong Would you be willing to add a Windows installer to your Lectrote releases? Should be easy with electron-forge or electron-builder.

@zarfeblong Lectrote seems to be the multi-format IF interpreter that works best with screen readers, at least on Windows. In particular, it has the advantage of being usable with the same screen reader commands that one already has to learn for browsing the web. So I recently promoted it to a small class of blind students. I expect the lack of an installer to be an obstacle though.

I'm willing to contribute a new build process myself, if you're open to it.

@matt Yes, we could do that.

Would it suffice to use the makensis command-line tool? I don't know if I want to completely redo the build process, and electron-forge and electron-builder both seem like they have a lot of complication.

@zarfeblong Sure, makensis seems fine to me.

@matt I've added a "Lectrote-1.5.2-WinInstall.exe" download to github.com/erkyrath/lectrote/r . Could you check it out and see if it's usable?
