Amazing! It looks like you're using Nativefier to make the AppImage. I'd like to build something like this into the project. Rather than using Nativifier I think it might be simpler to integrate electron-builder into the build pipeline. That would enable (at least for Linux AppImage and Windows targets) auto-updating. I've set up something similar for another Create React App-based project, and it works quite well.

I've just filed #44 to get this done!

appnativefy --name "Chitchatter" --url "https://chitchatter.im" --favicon

How to install Appnativefy:

The software is available as a NPM package. To install it, firstly open terminal and run command to install dependencies:

sudo apt install nodejs npm wget

Then install the tool via npm command:

sudo npm install -g appnativefy

With Appnativefy, you can run a simple command to turn a website into single executable Appimage:

appnativefy --name "TYPE_PACKAGE_NAME" --url "URL_ADDRESS"

You can add more flags at the end of the command to enable more options, for instance:

• --services enables to sign-in using services such as Microsoft 365 and Google.
  

• --favicon forces to use the favicon of the site while making the AppImage.
  

• --widevine adds Widevine support to enable playing DRM enabled content.
  

  For more, run appnativefy -h

This is great. Thanks for sharing this @MohammadTaseenKhan! This should tide users over until #44 is shipped. 🙂

Example Preview:

taseen@taseen-khan:~$ appnativefy --name "Facebook" --url "https://www.facebook.com" --services --widevine --favicon
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appnativefy

ATTENTION: Using the **unofficial** Electron from castLabs 
It implements Google's Widevine Content Decryption Module (CDM) for DRM-enabled playback. 
Simply abort & re-run without passing the widevine flag to default to 11.3.0
