I saw https://nibblestew.blogspot.com/2021/09/glyphtracer-20.html and wanted to have a play with it myself. So I built up a quick flatpak manifest and generated some modern metadata for better Linux desktop integration. The icon was just quickly generated with https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.design.Emblem and I in no way feel strongly about it - I just needed a placeholder!
For flatpak you need a reverse dns style dbus name which I've generated out of the repo here. Again, if you have a namespace you prefer then editing it is very easy.
An obvious next step would be to put a bit more of a buildsystem around this to install the files in the correct location - for the purposes of flatpak I didn't need that but it'd be more useful for other users.
If you think this is vaguely useful I'll put the manifest on flathub as this is exactly the kind of rarely changing app where sticking it in a container works well.
