Why do you have to use Electron 15? Is there an incompatibility?

Done.

@katt, interesting. Can't really say why this happens. But seems like there is no other choice. Updated the package.

Needs git as makedepend or else prepare() fails in clean chroot:

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent An unknown git error occurred
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

    Aborting..

Uhh, that was fast, thank you :)

@zapp-brannigan, this is similar to how official discord app behaves (it's even forces you to update and won't launch until then). But yeah, it is probably a good idea to disable this.

Hi!

I would suggest an enhancment. Everytime upstream releases a new version, on startup the application will check it and display a notification. Everyone who uses this package is not able to "fix" this, the user has to wait until the PKGBUILD is updated and gets annoyed by the "new version is out" message. I suggest to patch the updatecheck out:
