[Feature Request] - AppImage

[CHBMB]

I love remarkable, but just installed Antergos on a new laptop and it's taking forever to compile webkitgtk to install Remarkable from the AUR.

I think it would be wonderful to have an AppImage.

Yeah, would be quite nice to have an AppImage available, just in case...

According to https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/Creating-AppImages you can re-use Travis-CI builds for creating an AppImage:
e.g., https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/blob/master/.travis.yml
is executing https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/blob/master/appimage/appimage.sh

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

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

To be honest, I'm not using Remarkable from the AUR now as they time to compile webkitgtk was so long, I really think this would be a boon for remarkable as I've not found another md editor as good.

By the way, I think that this issue is a duplicate of #60

[CHBMB]

I'm going to close this. It's a duplicate as pointed out by @timeraider4u and it doesn't look like Remarkable is still being developed unfortunately.
