Contributing

• I really need mentoring on: app features, Rust best practices, implementations, or structures of the app. I'd be very appreciate if anyone could give any sort of guidances.
• Feels free to raise issues and suggest features.
• Don't forget to leave a star!

Notes

• For cargo: i published a crate called appim before, which is also the previous name of this repo, then i realized that not only AppImage is executable :) , this crate changes a bit, more features and has test coverage.
