Please provide verifiable builds

[Giszmo]

Your FAQ claims

Do you provide deterministic builds? Since we need to distribute the app via the App Store that is not possible. The source is however available on our Github so that anyone can review and compile it.

Could you please elaborate?

Verifiable builds are maybe a bit a lower standard than fully deterministic builds in the sense that the signature also has to be reproducible but for what it's worth, due to the lack of documentation I also failed to compile the app at all. Maybe you can help me out. Here are my detailed findings.

Is there any update on your build instructions?

Regarding build instructions, see Containerfile:

Opened issues:
for diffs in PNGs #63
to being able to compile the app in node production mode: #65 (patch included)
There are other diffs which I didn't look into them , the provider don't respond to my issues here on github...
