Hi,

EpubReader is so good looking software, it should be available to all Linux users, .deb only works with debian based distros. Please publish it at https://flathub.org/

https://flathub.org/setup

Here's a sample flatpak manifest, which does not work. I don't know how to package electron apps. but this may help you.

        . ../flatpak-node/electron-builder-arch-args.sh
        npm run dist -- $ELECTRON_BUILDER_ARCH_ARGS  --linux --dir

thank you.

I no longer have much time to devote to the application and I am quite ignorant about linux distributions and the various "stores". Since the project is meant to be open-source, assuming I get credit for it, if someone is able to publish it they can quietly do so, at the moment I wouldn't know where to put my hands

[fastrizwaan]

@mignaway Sure, I'll try to publish it on flathub.

But, please help me by showing how to install from sources, and what are the dependencies to install.

Working build files: io.github.mignaway.EpubReader.zip AppStream metadata should be added

@faveoled https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/blob/gtk4/data/com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate.metainfo.xml.in

I can convert the above for EpubReader, and publish at flathub.

[faveoled]

Yeah, it'd be nice
