Waveboxapp: AppImage for new versions?

[simoniz0r]

Hello, I just recently found Wavebox, and I was wondering if you are going to continue making AppImages for the new versions. It seems that 3.1.12 is the latest version that has an AppImage release.

Thanks in advance!

• Which version of Wavebox are you using? [3.1.12]

• Which Operating System are you using? [Ubuntu 16.04]

Hi, the AppImages that are available at the moment have been contributed by community. Do you remember where you downloaded it from originally? I'll see if I can reach out to them

This was just an example made by me. This project might consider to provide official AppImages.

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.

Great, I'll try and add this into an upcoming release

electron-builder has native AppImage generation, and there is a electron-builder appimage target for electron-forge. For Electron Packager and please see https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder#pack-only-in-a-distributable-format.

Any updates on this? When running the app on Linux it's ridiculous when it comes to memory usage.

I'm going to close this off as it's a duplicate of #34. AppImage is still something we're looking at adding support for, but it's easier if we have one place to track it. Thanks!
