You can find the latest stable version of the app on Flathub
Everytime a new version is published they become available on the releases page of the repository
You can also find the Snap package on the releases page, to install it run this command:
sudo snap install ./{package name} --dangerousThe --dangerous comes from the package being installed without any involvement of the SnapStore, I'm working on getting the app there, but for now you can test the app this way.
Note: This is not recommended since the prerelease versions of the app often present errors and general instability.
- Clone the project
- Open with Gnome Builder
- Press the run button (or export if you want to build a Flatpak package)
