Description

Overview

Deeplink support would allow external applications to control caprine in different ways through Electrons app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient. One of the simple use cases is an integration in to Alfred, allowing users to switch to conversations whether the caprine window is active or not.

I have an example of it on the Goofy facebook messenger that can be easily ported here.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Port the example from Goofy to Caprine, adapting it to the Caprine codebase structure and ensuring deep link support works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
