Add wick-editor-appimage PKGBUILD to AUR to manage with yay

[Red-Luci4]

Make a PKGBUILD for AUR

Hello world,
I recently came across this project - while searching for FOSS animation software in the AlternativeTo(dot)net
but, I couldn't find any managed package for Linux's package manager to work-with,
so I want a simple package using the portable AppImage release.

Feature Description :

I want an application package that can be managed by a package manager
(personally I use Pacman/yay, because I run Arch btw) to be hosted in an arch-repo or AUR
(I already made a PKGBUILD for personal use).

Preferred Solution:

I already have a functional PKGBUILD,
so I just need someone else to take over and maintain
a public version of it in AUR and/or arch-repo

My Alternative :

The alternative is simply to do it by my self
(But I don't want to maintain an online pkgbuild).

Additional Notes:

I have a functional PKGBUILD (holler back if anyone want it),
I don't want to maintain it (or contribute to it, other than the base file),
make any tweaks if you want to the PKGBUILD and/or the release files in GitHub,
and push it to AUR and/or arch-repo.

Sorry to be the one to say this, but nobody builds the electron version, in fact, I think it's impossible to make an AppImage.

Why? I pretend to think Arch users actually known to code, but this is a well and not-so complex electron problem!. If you need an app-image, just build it yourself.

I recommend you learn a bit of electron-builder, and if you ask about the creators doing it… No. You found this at the worst time. It's basically abandonware now.

Sorry, but I forgot to read some parts, and I didn't notice you already built one.
If you don't want to maintain an online source to build Wick, just keep it private!
