Greetings,
Now that AppImages are becoming more common for Linux deployment, users need to manage all of them. That's where applications like AppMan, Pho!, or Gear Lever come in (by far the three most popular; AppMan is the best in my end-user-personal-experience-opinion ;-) ). Most of the managers use master lists like this one below to find install paths and updates:
https://portable-linux-apps.github.io/apps

It's easy to contribute to the lists (https://github.com/Portable-Linux-Apps/Portable-Linux-Apps.github.io/pulls )  . The goal is ultimately to help users keep the Skip 1s AppImage up-to-date and manage their AppImage install of the Skip 1s client. However, I believe it ultimately helps the Skip 1s project as it allows another entity to help manage AppImage installs and updates.

I was going to submit a request directly to the list, but when I go to the skip 1s website  then click "Downloads" which scrolls down the screen where under the Linux banner I click Download yet again, there's a check box when then opens a link with a token to update.flirc.tv that in turn downloads a compressed image version on a site that asks for user/password if one tries any other variation to see available versions ... which makes me uncomfortable asking the project lists to support such a link.

I believe it is worth both the projects time and in the end-users best interest to have another entity manage the update process, but that's me. I ask that it at least be considered as an option.

Also.

When on that download for the AppImage, there's a link for "Release Notes". That link points to here: https://nathan-betzens-organization.gitbook.io/skip-remote-guide/ but is redirected to here https://skip-org.gitbook.io/skip-remote-guide yet there is no "Release Notes". In fact, try searching for them and they don't exist. No results for "Notes".

That link should probably be fixed, updated, and/or removed. :-)

Thanks!
