Hello,All
In China, we often said a sentence: first there is a solution,
then make it good. I think this is particularly reasonable.
Some software only has AppImage format packages when released.
But according to your request, I am gradually removing the already
ported AppImage software package.
Personally, I am not a developer and do not know how to program.
However, the migration of Appimage format packages is relatively convenient.

Please don't upload AppImage binaries of Electron- (Chromium) based
applications.
These are hugely bloated and go against Arch's Electron application
guidelines, namely that they should use and depend on one of the
electron packages carried by Arch repo.
I know that creating good quality packages is hard work, but that
doesn't mean that it should be okay to spam the AUR with five hundred
foreign binary packages which duplicate a lots of binary libraries and
runtimes already existing in the Arch Linux operating system.
This is not Windows, where bloat and duplication is the norm. Please
learn and adhere to Linux principles. When there is source available,
use primarily that to build and package an application. Or in case of
Electron applications, you can choose to use the ASAR files with Arch
repo's electron runtime, and create a -bin suffixed electron package.
