Description

I'm advised to stay away from snaps for security reasons, am wanting to get a Pinephone, and might use that phone to update Syncronite.

Is anyone willing to create this bundle? All the Snapd non-fans on ARM would appreciate it.

Research direction
Investigate ZeroNet's current build system for Linux x86 64 to understand the packaging approach. Look for any existing ARM build scripts or notes in the repository. Since the issue requests avoiding snaps, consider portable formats like AppImage or static binaries. Ask maintainers for clarity on the preferred bundle format and any cross compilation setup.
