Hi Nowadays flatpak/appimage/snap can cover multiple distributions without bound by packaging. Is it possible to support Flatpak/Appimage/Snap?

Adding this to backlog.

In case anyone has an experience in packaging Linux applications and wants to give a hand - you'll be more than welcome.

I could help with Flatpak, but before I contribute an appstream metadata file. Are you @anfragment willing to update the release information, for every release? It's only a couple of lines of xml code not more.

@Ferenc- thanks for your suggestion, but I believe that making the app work in Flatpak would require a more involved setup. The app relies on having access to the root filesystem and some CLI tools, which makes me think that I'll need to fiddle with the app manifest myself to ensure everything works as it should.
