I think this is a great idea! Thanks for capturing it in an issue. 🙇🏻

I'd welcome a PR adding a hideOnLaunch configuration option. Test coverage for the new feature would be encouraged as well.

I don't understand enough the code to do it:( not sure where it should happen and how...

[mwoz123]

@dcalhoun I tried toggle(app) , hideWindows(app) in app.js applyConfog() and index.js onApp() and some other tries but none of them had an effect.
Any help?

Hey @mwoz123. 👋🏻 If you are willing to open a draft PR showcasing your explorations, I would be happy to review and provide feedback/guidance where I can. Your PR could included commented code you attempted and inline comments explaining the reason for the attempt and what outcome, if any, you observed from running the code. Communicating your exploration in this manner with a PR would help tremendously. Thanks! 🙇🏻

#78 here it is

[mwoz123]

My workaround for Ubuntu:

1. install no overview at startup gnome extension
2. install xdotool and hyper-startup plugin:

$ sudo apt install xdotool
$ hyper install hyper-startup

3. add to hyper.js config file :
   commands: ["test $(cut -d '.' -f1 /proc/uptime) -lt 180 && xdotool key ctrl+F12" ]

it basicly runs the ctrl+F12 if it's <180second since linux current boot
where ctrl+F12 is my keybinding for show/hide hyper
