Please provide an AppImage for Linux

probonopd commented 6 years ago

This project is already configured to produce an AppImage for Linux but the AppImage is not available on the project's GitHub Releases page:

https://github.com/zhuzhuyule/HexoEditor/blob/d9643561918fb183420e9fc4b6dbd367d0651851/package.json#L32 Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
No unpacking or installation necessary
No root needed
No system libraries changed
Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
Optional desktop integration with appimaged
Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
Works on Live ISOs
Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
Can be listed in the AppImageHub central directory of available AppImages
Can double as a self-extracting compressed archive with the --appimage-extract parameter

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on irc.freenode.net.

Hello @zhuzhuyule, the pictures get made by our review system automatically. It is what the application shows directly after it has been launched. If you would like to see another screenshot, please add AppStream metadata to the AppImage. Thanks.

Here is a generator that can produce it: http://output.jsbin.com/qoqukof
