Feature Request - create and publish flatpak

[loganb-aja]

I would be really nice to have a flatpak of this app available on flathub for distribution.

This would help with exposure of this project and also provide a distribution agnostic method for installing that doesn't require building from source.

Here's a link to the flatpak build documentation... https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/building.html

Once a build is created and tested, here's how to publish the flatpak to the flathub repo... https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission/

Thanks!

There is an appimage as a distribution agnostic method for installing. What benefits does flatpack have?

Flatpak has these features that AppImages currently lack:

• proper security control (give access only to specific folders)
• new flatpak is released when a new version is released, so users don't need to download a new appimage every release
• Automatic Desktop entry creation (for the start menu)
• shared dependencies among flatpaks via runtimes
• App authors can create an addon system using Flatpaks (see OBS Studio and VLC)
• pre-installed on most distributions
• browsable through a GUI App Store via packagekit
