Provide AppImage for Linux

[probonopd]

What would need to happen for the team to consider providing an official AppImage for Linux? @zaggino seems to have done all the work and has been producing AppImages for quite some time:
https://github.com/brackets-userland/brackets-electron/releases 👍

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

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

👍 from me

I would be happy with official .rpm packages, but AppImage is also perfect. :)

I'm all for an App Image as well probonopd, lets see if they can make this happen. It would solve our menu font corruption issues were having on multiple Linux OS's.

I am happy to help if the project is interested in making an AppImage. Some of the project owners just let me know.

probonopd that would be great! I hope they take you up on that offer.

What's the status of this issue at present?

Looking at https://github.com/adobe/brackets/graphs/contributors it seems like the two main contributors have abandoned the project? I might be wrong though.
