If electron-builder supports this format than I could add support for it.

Flatpak support by electron-builder is being tracked here: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/512

You can also use org.freedesktop.Platform//18.08, add https://github.com/flathub/shared-modules (glu and udev iirc) and use the .deb as source (ar xv the deb, tar xvf the data, mv the files to /app/bin with +x). I made one for personal use that way and it works. IMO not worth doing a flatpak for general use until #440 and a few others because it needs to work for any user. And it should follow good Flatpak practices like not asking for the entire home folder or too many permissions. If the user wishes to give more access they can use flatpak override.

Just my two cents... I was interested in this app, and immediately went to Flathub to download it and try it out. I couldn't find it there. So I went to the website and looked up the installation instructions, and was surprised to see AppImage and Snap packages provided, but no Flatpak. Flatpak is vastly more popular than the other two — it has very clearly won the package format war. If an app isn't available on Flathub, then it basically doesn't exist for me. Disappointing. I'll be looking forward to trying this app in the future if it ever gets a Flatpak release.
