Provide AppImage for download
Please provide the AppImage for download, preferably on the GitHub Releases page, thanks.
Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:
- Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
- One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
- No unpacking or installation necessary
- No root needed
- No system libraries changed
- Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
- Optional desktop integration with
appimaged
- Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
- Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
- Works on Live ISOs
- Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.
appimages are a misconcept. I never found single one that worked for me. Do not put your efforts into such a crap.
Don't spread FUD. They are working beautifully unless you are on unsupportable, ever-changing, no-clear-baseline distibutions such as Arch. Show me what does not work for you and I may be able to help you.
There's even already signs of beginning AppImage support in this project: https://github.com/lavv17/le/blob/18f6804fad8f5afab193071c92d627fe3e9feb16/Makefile.am#L23
I have already added appimage target to the makefile.

Thanks @lavv17 that is a good first step, next it would be great if you could provide the AppImage binary for download, preferably on the GitHub Releases page.
