What can we do to have an AppImage for Haveno? (monero.town)

Should we start a bounty? Current .deb requires the user to have sudo privileges and installs into root file directory. The first one is cumbersome for TailsOS users and the second one is cumbersome for QubesOS users.

An AppImage, in contrast, is a self-contained packaging for linux programs, that doesn't require sudo privs nor installation to root file dir. The user can simply double click on the AppImage and it will get Haveno working instantly.

Currently, Haveno/-Reto doesn't have an AppImage release. How do we get one? I am not a programmer, so I can't cook one for them. So, would opening a bounty on bounties.monero.social be helpful?

AppImages are better than .debs, but still have basically full access to your userspace. flatpaks have a permission system, can be built with very strict permissions and the you can modify those as you see fit, e.g. through the Flatseal graphical interface. I would much more prefer a Haveno (universal or Reto) flatpak.
