Electron apps to be built from source

[YoshiRulz]

Until recently, it was non-trivial to build Electron-based apps from source (see #46382). I gather the situation has now improved and these packages can be revisited.

• authy proprietary, no source available
• [ ] bilibili currently packaged from .deb
• breitbandmessung proprietary, no source available
• [ ] camunda-modeler currently packaged from binary tarball
• clockify proprietary, no source available
• [ ] electronplayer currently packaged from AppImage
• etcher was packaged from .deb, but has now been removed from Nixpkgs
• [x] feishin currently packaged from binary tarball
• flexoptix-app proprietary, no source available
• [ ] freetube currently packaged from AppImage
• [ ] hakuneko currently packaged from .deb
• [ ] headset currently packaged from .deb
• [ ] itch currently packaged from binary tarball
• [ ] logseq currently packaged from AppImage
• [ ] mattermost-desktop currently packaged from binary tarball

• nix-tour-unstable appears to be a web app which is just wrapped with Electron for convenience
• obinskit proprietary, no source available
• obsidian proprietary, no source available
• [ ] p3x-onenote currently packaged from AppImage
• pocket-casts appears to be a web app which is just wrapped with Electron for convenience
• pritunl-client proprietary, appears to be a web app which is just wrapped with Electron for convenience

how did you obtain this list? quite sure there's a lot more than just the listed

[YoshiRulz]

A grep followed by manual pruning. (I also tried nixpkgs-review, but the grep quickly brought up some it missed.) If an expression looked like it was downloading a Git repo rather than a .deb, I omitted it. So it's definitely possible that I made a mistake.

I'd try to add some more:

• [ ] mailspring currently packaged from.deb
• [ ] yesplaymusic currently packaged from .deb
• [ ] figma-linux currently packaged from .deb
