Hi, this looks like an interesting app to have because it's gaining
popularity and would make it easier for many people to switch to Debian.

It is a JavaScript app developed on top of electron (as signal-desktop for
example).

Electron should be just a few tens of node-* packages away:
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/electron

It's a matter of picking up those two RFP, creating the ITPs for the
missing dependencies, and updating the out-of-date dependencies.

Whoever wants to jump in is welcome to join the pkg-javascript team
and contribute to this work !
