Offer Flatpak builds for Linux #322

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. AppImage is a good way to package an app cross-platform, but it lacks the security features like sandboxing that Flatpak offers.

Describe the solution you'd like Offer a sandboxed Flatpak version of the editor.

Describe alternatives you've considered Snap also offers sandboxing. However, it's a partly proprietary technology (the server is proprietary) that's tied to Canonical's services. It goes against the free and open-source ethos and isn't being adopted outside of the Ubuntu ecosystem.

Flathub Manifest created, working perfectly. The maintainers are requested to follow https://docs.flatpak.org to edit permissions and create the rest of metadata files (.desktop file, .appdata.xml, icon etc) if interested in publishing the app in flathub.

For what it's worth, I see it exists on https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.wickeditor.WickEditor ; supposedly from the Wicklets / Wick Editor maintainers team itself. As such this seems to be fixed?

It would be best if you could update your appdata XML to point to this GitHub repository as the bug tracker so that FlatHub shows the "Issues" button.
