Description

hope can have portable green version

without save config/data outside of install folder

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate existing build configuration and packaging scripts (e.g., electron builder or similar) to understand how the current installer works. Then modify them to produce a portable .exe that stores all configuration and data within the application folder without using the user's AppData or other system directories. Look into using a portable mode flag or environment variable.
