Any reason you can't use the flatpak? I'm not sure this has enough traction yet to be included.

Yes, I'm using the flatpak version but would like to reduce my dependency on flatpaks when applications are offered with FOSS licenses. The javascript code quality of the project has a few issues but I think it has matured enough as a project over the last three years. I use it on mobile without any problems.

If accepted, I also volunteer and try my hand at packaging it.

This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over 30 days. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a completed patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen but only when someone offers a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteers to be maintainer.
