[Feature] AppImage

[philibertc]

Hello,
Your app is super cool but, using flatpak the app does not take care of the system theme.
I can fix it with installing my theme from flathub, but this takes storage and the problem is still there for the icons. Having an AppImage version would surely fix the problem. Also, it would allow to have a portable version.

Hi!
Thank you :)
I won't be looking at adding more packaging formats personally, but if you or someone else familiar with AppImage wants to take a stab at it, contributions are welcome :) I took a quick look at the documentation out of curiosity a while ago, but it seems like it's quite a bit of work especially on a distro without apt :/

Hello, I’m gonna try to make an AppImage with:

• https://github.com/sudo-give-me-coffee/flatpak2appdir
• https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/releases/tag/continuous

Thank you, that looks promising!

Okay, I managed to make a working AppImage but there is a big bug with the icon themes.

If you want to follow the problem: sudo-give-me-coffee/flatpak2appdir#23

Nice work!!

Again, not very familiar with AppImage, but maybe flatpak2appdir isn't supposed to generate a perfect appdir out of the box, and some manual tweaking is required afterwards?

For instance I see that some examples (using appimage-builder) purposefully exclude themes: https://appimage-builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/gnome.html
