Description

🚀 Feature Request

📝 Description

Make this program compatible with NixOS.

✨ Describe the solution you'd like

Would like this program made available to the nixpkgs.

✍️ Describe alternatives you've considered

There isn't any alternative to this program as far as I can fathom. I'm currently running this in a VM which is far from ideal. Thank you for your valiant efforts and consideration.

Research direction
Examine the app's build configuration in package.json and electron builder settings. Look for existing Linux packaging scripts or mentions of NixOS in the repository. Check the nixpkgs repository for similar electron app packages to understand the required Nix expressions. The goal is to create a nix derivation that builds and installs the app correctly on NixOS.
