@auroraanna - are you still working on PR? Maybe we can start with the simple binary .zip install wrapper version of this PR and then move on later to your approach? In any case, may I add you as maintainer?

[auroraanna]

@rcmlz yes, you can add me as a maintainer

the mime type file for filius projects and the .desktop should be added too
