That's interesting. But man, the project name is not very memorable.
The name definitely needs work
At this point you could just use flatpak.
Very true, but there are some packages not available. And Appimages have partial updates now, and dont need huge libraries but just the stuff they need.
At the moment I am not using your project, but I think this has its place even with Flatpak available. Because archiving Flatpaks is not as easy as arachiving AppImages. In example there are programs (emulators) I use Flatpak for, but from time to time I also archive a version of the official AppImage.
And sandboxing comes up as a point everytime people talk why Flatpak is superior to AppImages. So tackling that point is good effort to me.
Edit: Think about renaming the project. It's not very memorable and also the ai in the name suggests it has something to do with artificial intelligence.
Not my project lol
Thank you for posting this @boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net
I will later see if I can convince the gearlever dev to add aisap support, since that app targets flatpak users.
Also during testing Ivan discovered something interesting in fedora, sometimes some of the xdg-user-dirs variable for some reason were being defined as $HOME/ with a trailing slash instead of $HOME/Scrivania (desktop) for example, even though they were clearly defined in the conf file of xdg-user-dirs.
am has a check in the sandbox script that unsets these variables and makes aisap use their default location when that happens to prevent giving full access to $HOME, I don't know if flatpak has similar measures in place.
